Ham and Cheese Sliders

1 dozen

Ingredients

  • 1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls

    12 ounces

  • 1/2 cup horseradish sauce
  • 3/4 pound sliced deli ham
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese

    halved

  • 1/2 cup butter

    cubed

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Grease a 9-inch square baking pan. Remove the entire loaf of rolls from the bag, and cut them in half horizontally without separating the rolls. Spread the horseradish over the roll bottoms. Layer with ham and cheese, and replace the roll tops.

  2. 2

    In a small skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, one to two minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, spicy brown mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Pour the butter topping over the prepared rolls. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil, and refrigerate the rolls for several hours or overnight.

  4. 4

    Remove the rolls from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls, covered, for 25 minutes. Uncover the rolls and bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.

About this Recipe

Craving the ultimate combination of savory ham, melty cheese, and sweet, buttery goodness? These Ham and Cheese Sliders are a delicious answer, perfect for satisfying hungry crowds or making an easy family meal. They're a beloved classic for a reason, delivering big flavor in a convenient, bite-sized package.

What truly makes these Ham and Cheese Sliders shine is the irresistible glaze that bakes right into the rolls. A savory blend of melted butter, finely chopped onion, brown sugar, spicy brown mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder, it permeates the soft Hawaiian sweet rolls, creating a sticky, slightly sweet, and tangy crust that you'll crave. The poppy seeds add a delicate crunch and visual appeal, making each slider a delightful textural experience.

Prepare to enjoy a dozen incredibly flavorful sliders, where soft Hawaiian rolls are generously layered with savory deli ham and creamy Swiss cheese. Each bite offers a harmonious balance of sweet from the rolls and glaze, a tangy kick from the mustard and Worcestershire, and a subtle warmth from the horseradish sauce, all melded together with perfectly melted Swiss. The buttery top, infused with aromatic spices, guarantees a delightful aroma and an even more delightful taste. These aren't just sandwiches; they're an experience in comfort food.

This recipe is wonderfully adaptable to your preferences. If Swiss cheese isn't your favorite, feel free to swap it for provolone, cheddar, or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile. For those who prefer a milder kick, you can reduce the amount of horseradish sauce or spicy brown mustard, or omit the horseradish entirely for a milder take. You can also experiment with different types of deli ham for varied savory notes.

Serve these Ham and Cheese Sliders as a fantastic appetizer for game day gatherings, potlucks, or holiday parties. They also make an excellent, no-fuss dinner when paired with a simple green salad or a bowl of soup. Their crowd-pleasing nature ensures they'll be devoured quickly, making them a go-to for any occasion.
