Ham and Cheese Sliders

Ham and Cheese Sliders

4 - 6 serving(s)

Ingredients

  • 16 oz. package dinner rolls

    sides attached

  • 1/3 c. mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp. dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. chopped

    pickled jalapeños

  • 2 tsp. honey
  • 4 oz. thinly sliced Swiss cheese
  • 8 oz. thinly sliced ham
  • 4 oz. thinly sliced cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. poppy seeds
  • 1 tbsp. chopped chives

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the broiler on high. Remove the rolls from the packaging in 1 piece. Using a serrated knife, cut crosswise through the center of the rolls at once to divide the top half from the bottom half (keeping the sides of the rolls intact). Place both halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet and broil until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, jalapeños, and honey.

  3. 3

    On the same sheet tray, spread the cut sides of the rolls with the mayonnaise mixture. On the bottom sides of the rolls, lay the Swiss cheese slices in a single layer, slightly overlapping if needed. Then, lay the ham slices in an even layer over top, followed by the cheddar cheese slices. Cover with the top half of the rolls.

  4. 4

    Brush the tops of the rolls all over with olive oil and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Cover the sheet tray and bake for 10 minutes. Uncover the tray and bake until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden and toasted, 10 to 15 minutes more. Sprinkle all over with the chives. Cut along the lines of the rolls into individual sliders and serve immediately.

About this Recipe

Looking for the ultimate crowd-pleaser that's effortless to make? These Ham and Cheese Sliders are your answer, bringing together gooey cheese, savory ham, and a tangy-sweet kick in every bite that will have everyone reaching for more.

What sets these sliders apart is the irresistible combination of thinly sliced ham and two complementary cheeses, Swiss and cheddar, layered perfectly between soft dinner rolls. The secret sauce, a vibrant blend of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and a hint of chopped pickled jalapeños, adds a bright, zesty contrast that truly elevates them beyond a simple sandwich. It's this unique balance of flavors that makes them so addictive.

Prepare for warm, melty perfection. You can expect rolls that are delightfully tender, encasing a gooey core of mild Swiss and sharp cheddar cheese, perfectly complemented by the savory slices of ham. The special sauce is a game-changer, offering a subtle tang and a whisper of heat from the jalapeños that keeps each bite exciting and fresh. Topped with poppy seeds and fresh chives, these sliders offer a delightful aroma and a burst of herbaceous flavor, making them visually appealing and incredibly satisfying.

You can easily tailor these sliders to your taste preferences. If you prefer a milder flavor, feel free to reduce the amount of or even omit the pickled jalapeños from the sauce. For a different cheese profile, consider swapping out one of the specified cheeses for provolone or Monterey Jack. While the recipe uses ham, thinly sliced turkey or roast beef would also be delicious alternatives. If you don't have poppy seeds, sesame seeds make a great substitute, or you can simply leave them off.

These versatile sliders are perfect for game day gatherings, casual potlucks, or a fun, easy family dinner. Serve them alongside a crisp green salad or a warm bowl of soup for a complete and satisfying meal. They're designed for sharing, making them an ideal appetizer or a light main course that disappears quickly.
