The BEST Ham and Swiss Sliders

If you like ham, cheese and butter then you will love this super delicious Ham and Swiss Sliders recipe because it’s so easy to make and tastes seriously amazing. Made with Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, Black Forest or Honey Ham, Swiss Cheese and tons of butter, everyone will be asking for this recipe.

If you need an easy and delicious comfort food appetizer for tailgating, holiday parties or potlucks, then go ahead and whip up a batch of these delicious Ham and Swiss Sliders. I’ve made them several times and my baking dish always comes back clean. Everyone will be asking you for this recipe because they are just so amazingly good.

Trust me, set these out at a party and they will be gone in a matter of minutes. These Ham and Swiss Sliders also make a great gift for a new mom. Just pair them with a salad and you’ve got a delicious meal to bless a friend. These sliders are best served warm. They can be reheated the next day, but will be mushier. They are best right out of the oven.

Can This Recipe Be Made Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can prep the sliders the day before the party, but I wouldn’t add the butter or other seasonings until you are ready to bake the next day. Simply assemble the bread, ham and cheese, then cover with foil and refrigerate until you are ready to add the butter and other toppings before baking.

Can Ham and Swiss Sliders be Frozen?

Yes! You can assemble the bread, meat and cheese and cover with plastic wrap or foil before freezing, but again I wouldn’t add the butter or other seasonings until right before baking, otherwise they will run the risk of being mushy.

Are Ham and Swiss Sliders Good Cold?

Of course this is all personal opinion, but yes they taste great hot or cold. Serve them anyway that you wish.

What Kind of Cheese Goes Well with Ham?

You may be wondering if you can substitute the cheese in this recipe and the answer is yes. The best widely available sliced cheese that go well with ham are Swiss, provolone, Monterey or cheddar.

What Can I Serve with Sliders as an Easy Side Dish?

  • chips
  • baked beans
  • coleslaw
  • potato salad
  • pasta salad
  • fresh side salad

What’s in Ham and Swiss Sliders?

  • Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
  • Deli Ham
  • Swiss Cheese
  • Butter Yellow Mustard (Dijon Mustard may also be used)
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Dried Minced Onion
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Dried Parsley

How to make Ham and Swiss Sliders:

Preheat oven to 350. Cover 9×13 baking pan with foil. Spray with cooking spray.

Remove rolls from package in one piece.

Cut entire slab of rolls in half lengthwise. (You will end up with one slab of “tops” and one slab of “bottoms”.)

Place bottom slab in foiled cover pan.

Layer with half of the ham , then the Swiss cheese, then the rest of the ham.

Add top slab of rolls.

Melt butter in microwave and whisk in remaining ingredients (except parm. cheese and parsley). Pour evenly over rolls. (NOTE: For a drier, crispier slider you may cut the amount of butter in half to a 1/4 cup.)

Cover with foil and let sit for 5-10 minutes.

Bake covered for 20 minutes.

Uncover and cook 5 additional minutes.

(Optional) Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.

    Hi, I'm going on a wine tour tmrw with a lot of people but I'm leaving early in the morning. Would I able to -make a head and bake at night and reheat in the morning? Or should I just make everything ahead the night before and bake in the morning? I don't know how long these can sit out though but I'm assuming since they are so good they aren't going to even last that long.

      I was thought to assemble, pour mixture on top cover with foil & refrigerate over night, allowing the buns to soak up all the flavors. (Instead of parmesan, we add a tsp or more poppy seeds to the mixture, this gives the sandwiches a little crunch) Before eating cook @350 until hot/cheese is melted. My family loves these at room temp as well as hot.

      I do not know. Maybe try raising the oven temp or cooking a few minutes longer? I've never had this problem.

      Try altering the recipe less butter or different cheese. These two ingredients have the most (grease) type agents

    My big hesitation with making these is that the bottom half of the buns will be mushy & soaked in butter?? Or do they crisp up a bit??

    • Missy Rakes says

      November 29, 2018 at 1:30 pm

      They will definitely be covered in butter, but not mushy as if they had water on them. If you are concerned, then you could always do less butter, but don't knock it until you try it. :)

    Love these but twice I’ve made them and the bottoms did in fact turn out mushy... aside from using less butter do you have any insight? I may try brushing the tops ‘lightly’ hahaha...

    • Missy Rakes says

      March 28, 2019 at 10:40 am

      Well, the only thing that would be making them mushy would be the butter, so I guess just keep trying less until you get the consistency you like.

      I have not tried that, so I can't answer you. You could definitely assemble the ham, cheese and bread and cover and then add the sauce before baking.

    I haven't got round to making the sliders yet but used your method of slicing the rolls while they were still attached to make ham rolls for a picnic. How much easier to spread butter and mayo and layer ham and salad - then trim them into individual rolls afterwards. Such a time saver!
