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.

Made them for girls night last night and they were a HIT. Made half with ham/swiss and half with turkey/cheddar. I used fresh minced shallot intead of the onion powder. YUM!

Just made this tonight and it was AWESOME! Hands down the best sandwich I've ever had! I used store made onion rolls instead and made a dipping sauce using honey and honey dijon mustard. Also used the pre-packaged brown sugar Hillshire Farm Ham and Sargento Swiss. Loved it!!! Thank You!
Robin says
Made these today without onion powder since I was out. Should have taken them out a minute sooner (after 5 mins instead of 6 w/o foil) but otherwise we all agreed they were delicious and worth making again. Thanks for sharing!!

Tawnya says
I just made these last night and they were amazing!!! My kids LOVED them!! The only thing I did different was used onion and poppy seed bun from our local grocer! Its worth a try!
Theresa says
I made this as a light supper for a bunch of picky women. They. Loved. It. Two reasons: excellent taste and small, perfect portions. Another woman in the group said she had made a version of these, but loved your glaze much better.
I used Black Forest Ham and muenster cheese, served it with a green salad laced with fresh strawberries, blueberries, dried cranberries, glazed pecans and raspberry vinegrette.
Thanks so much for posting this.
Heather says
Your salad sounds amazing. So glad the sandwiches were a hit!

My 15 yr. old dd was my helper in the kitchen tonight. I thought this was a simple enough meal for her to learn. I have seen these before, but I think it was your picture that made me try them for tonight. Well, it was a big hit with everyone.....it's definitly a "mom, make this again" meal. We had it with a salad and Guacamole Dip with Tortilla chips, and your Cranberry Fluff that my 13 yr. old made. Supper was great tonight....and so simple.
Thanks to you Heather.
Heather says
So glad they turned out well and that you got your kiddos to help in the kitchen- that's the best! 🙂

WOW!!! Delish! Made these (without the poppy seeds...didn't have any)and after literally one bite my husband turned to me and yelled "WRITE THIS DOWN!!!" Thank you!
Heather says
Now that's the kind of response we like to get from every meal! Awesome!
