Perfect for family gatherings, game day, or a simple meal, this easy-to-make recipe requires just a few staple ingredients, coming together effortlessly to create a delicious, versatile, and satisfying dish loved by all ages.

Ingredients

Scale

Rolls & Bread

  • 12 soft dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls

Meats & Cheese

  • 12 thinly sliced deli ham pieces
  • 6 to 8 ounces Swiss, cheddar, or provolone cheese, sliced or shredded

Butter & Spreads

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or mayonnaise

Seasonings & Optional Toppings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rolls: Slice your slider rolls horizontally in half, keeping them attached if possible for easy serving. Place the bottom halves of the rolls into a baking dish or sheet.
  2. Layer Ham and Cheese: Evenly arrange thin slices of deli ham across the bottom halves of the rolls. Add your preferred cheese on top, spreading it out evenly to ensure consistent melting.
  3. Add the Top Buns: Place the top halves of the rolls over the ham and cheese layers, pressing down gently to compact the sliders slightly.
  4. Make the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with Dijon mustard or mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and poppy seeds if using. Mix well to create a savory glaze.
  5. Brush and Bake: Generously brush the butter mixture over the top of the slider buns. Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until the cheese melts and the tops turn golden brown. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the tops.

Notes

  • Layer ham and cheese evenly to ensure moist and flavorful sliders in every bite.
  • Use fresh, slightly sweet rolls like Hawaiian rolls for the best texture and taste.
  • Do not skimp on the butter mixture; it adds shine and savory depth to the sliders.
  • Covering with foil during baking prevents the bread from drying out and helps cheese melt perfectly.
  • Let sliders rest for 5 minutes after baking so flavors meld and cheese firms up for easier serving.
