Ham and Cheese Sliders

These Ham and Cheese Sliders are a family staple. They are super easy to make, budget-friendly, great for a group of people, and even freezer friendly. I've been making these for YEARS and constantly have people ask for the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 15 dinner rolls or slider buns sliced open
  • 1 pound deli ham slices I prefer a non-sweet kind like black forest ham
  • 8 ounces Swiss cheese slices
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon poppyseeds find in spice aisle
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Assemble Sandwiches: Place 1-2 slices of folded ham and a 1/2 slice of cheese on bottom half of each roll, pop the top on, and place in the baking dish. Squeeze sandwiches in side by side.
  • Make Sauce: Add butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds and brown sugar to a medium sauce pan. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer, whisking just until fully melted and combined. (Don't let it simmer long or it will get very sticky.)
  • Top Sandwiches: Lightly drizzle each sandwich with the prepared sauce.
  • Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 20 minutes, until hot and melty.

Notes

  • Look for wheat rolls in the bakery section or make your own using our bread machine wheat rolls recipe. Or you can use mini Hawaiian or brioche rolls, but they will add more sweetness to the dish.
  • Don't let the sauce boil too long or it will get very sticky!
  • Sometimes kids are turned off by the poppyseeds. You can leave those out if that's the case. 
  • Many types of cheese will work. I often use provolone or mozzarella instead of Swiss.
