These Ham and Swiss Sliders are a perfect party food and can be baked whenever you're ready to eat, so they're always hot and melty for your guests!
Y'all these are INSANE! I originally posted this Sweet Ham and Swiss Sliders recipe about 5 years ago and in that time it has become one of the most-visited recipes on HLF.
One of the things I love most about these Ham and Swiss Sliders is that they are very kid friendly while being just interesting enough for adults to get excited about too. I mean, who doesn't love a sticky-sweet and savory butter sauce poured over their ham and cheese slider, right?
Should I use Hawaiian Rolls for Ham and Swiss Sliders?
Most recipes for these sliders use sweet Hawaiian Rolls, but I'm a rebel and like to use plain ol' boring white dinner rolls. I do this for a few reasons:
- They're cheaper. 🙂
- Hawaiian Rolls can be TOO sweet sometimes.
- Using plain rolls means I can add a little bit of brown sugar to the glaze which makes the ham and cheese sliders just a little bit caramelized and sticky and I love that!

How Far Ahead Can I Make These Ham and Swiss Sliders?
I love this ham and cheese sliders recipe for parties because you can assemble them through the step where you pour on the glaze, cover with foil and put in the fridge until you're ready to bake-- up to 24 hours in advance!

Tools Used For Ham and Swiss Sliders:
- Silpat Silicone Baking Mats-- I use these silicone baking mats to line my baking sheet anytime I bake. Practically nothing sticks to them and I feel like my baked goods bake more evenly on them as well.
- Nordic Ware ½ Sheet Pans-- I LOVE these sheet pans! They last a long time, are commercial-grade and bake evenly!

Sweet Ham and Swiss Sliders
Ingredients
- 12 White Dinner Rolls cut in half
- 24 slices Honey Ham
- 8 slices Swiss Cheese cut in half
- ¼ cup Mayonnaise
- 1 ½ Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 8 Tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon poppy seeds
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- On a rimmed baking sheet place bottom half of dinner rolls and top with 2 folded slices of ham and 1 slice of swiss cheese. Spread about 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on each top-half of roll and place on top of ham and cheese. You want the rolls to be snug together, kissing just a bit so the sauce can soak up into all of the nooks and crannies.
- In a small bowl combine the mustard, melted butter, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and brown sugar. Mix until combined and evenly pour over the assembled rolls. Cover with foil and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.Bake covered with foil for 10 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the tops are browned, and cheese is good and melted.

My sister in law made these last weekend and they were wonderful! I'm making them for a carry-in at work this week and next weekend for my husband and I. This will definately be a great "go-to" recipe for family get-togethers. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

These are great! I spend so much time making crazy, complicated meals. These were so easy and the bf has requested these three times in the past 4 weeks. I love it!!! Thank you for such a nice quick and tasty recipe. I've been serving them with a butter lettuce and sliced radish salad in a honey dijon vinaigarette I make at home (to taste: honey dijon, olive oil, a little balsamic, pinch of salt, and some braggs amino acid).
Heatherlikesfood says
Thanks Lauren! Your salad sounds delish!

Marguerite says
I'm totally on Pinterest.. haven't been smooshed under a rock or in a coma and somehow, I've missed these! They look awesome! I can't wait to try them!!
Heatherlikesfood says
Haha, I'm impressed! :p
Judy miller says
Looks good, but do they get soggy?
Heatherlikesfood says
The sauce is made up of mostly butter and sugar so once they bake they are caramelized and prefect, not soggy at all!
yvonne says
These were absolutely wonderful!! My husband & son are sometimes picky & want to know EVERY ingredient going into a meal..These had them going back for seconds 🙂
Heatherlikesfood says
So glad to hear it!
Seth Jacobs says
I'm trying this out tomorrow.
Kelsey says
Where did you get the recipe originally? You said it came from Pinterest but didn't cite the original site, blog, or book. I love Hawaiian rolls and would love to look at the recipe that uses them 🙂
Heatherlikesfood says
Confessions of Foodie Bride Included a recipe for her homemade sweet rolls in her post. You should be able to sub Kings Hawaiian rolls straight across for the white rolls and get good results!
Jude Krieger says
I have the same recipe,except they were called funeral sandwiches.
Heather says
Haha, never heard that one before! 🙂
tristinedenise says

Heatherlikesfood says

Jeannie says
Looks delicious
Faye says
You can also do this to make mini muffuletta's. Just use ham, genoa salami, provolone cheese and olive salad. No dressing necessary...they are great and a real hit.
Shirley Payseno says
Faye, your recipe sounds great. I am making these for the family. When put together, you said no dressing. Do you just cover with foil and heat?
