- 1package swiss cheese
sliced
- 8 tbspunsalted butter
1/2 cup, melted

- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the rolls in half horizontally (see pictures in post) while keeping individual rolls intact. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared pan.
- 3
Add half the cheese in an even layer on top of the rolls. Next, add an even layer of ham. Top with the remaining cheese in an even layer on top. Finish with the top half of the rolls.

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Set aside to slightly cool. Whisk in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, minced onion, and salt and pepper to taste. (I add a good pinch of each.)

Slowly pour the butter mixture over the rolls. Use a pastry brush or spatula to evenly spread the mixture over the tops. Some of the mixture will pool at the bottom of the rolls, which you want to make the bottoms crispy! You don’t need to use all the butter mixture—I usually use just over 3/4 of it.

Cover the rolls with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and (watching closely) bake for another 3–5 minutes or until tops are slightly crispy and cheese is melty.

Serve these sliders straight out of the oven!

About this Recipe

They're effortlessly delicious, perfect for making a big impression with minimal fuss. These aren't just any sliders; the magic lies in the seasoned buttery topping, a flavorful mix of melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, and dried minced onion. This mixture infuses every sweet Hawaiian roll with irresistible savory notes that set this recipe apart. Combined with thinly sliced deli ham and wonderfully melty Swiss cheese, this recipe creates an unforgettable sweet and savory balance that's simply irresistible. Prepare for a delightful interplay of textures and flavors. You'll experience the soft, slightly sweet Hawaiian rolls, a generous layer of savory ham, and wonderfully gooey, melted Swiss cheese, all brought together by that rich, zesty butter topping. The simple preparation yields a truly addictive appetizer that feels much more elaborate than it is, perfect for casual parties or a satisfying snack. This dish is designed for pure enjoyment, offering a comforting yet exciting bite every time. Feel free to get creative with your ham choice; honey ham or black forest ham both work beautifully, adding their unique depth. While Swiss cheese is classic, provolone or cheddar would also melt wonderfully for a different flavor profile. For an extra kick, a pinch of black pepper or a dash of hot sauce could be added to the butter mixture, or try substituting some of the poppy seeds with sesame seeds for an altered crunch. These buttery Ham and Cheese Sliders are an ideal appetizer for potlucks, game day, or a casual family dinner. Serve them warm straight from the oven, where the cheese is perfectly molten and the rolls are slightly crisped around the edges for the ultimate experience.
