Ham And Swiss Sliders
Ham and cheese sliders have to be one of the most versatile party foods. They’re easy to make to feed a crowd, perfect for game day, and completely kid friendly.
You can even serve them cold if you want to, and they’ll still be so delicious.
If you’re making these for a tailgate party, try grilling them on top of aluminum foil! The smoky flavor is next level amazing.
I’ve partnered up with Klarbrunn to bring you one of my favorite game day snacks. These sliders pair perfectly with their delicious Peach Mango Sparkling Water! You can find out where to buy Klarbrunn here.
Ingredients
Slider Rolls: My favorite rolls to use for sliders are King’s Hawaiian Rolls, but you can use any pull apart dinner rolls. You could also use biscuits or crescent rolls if you’d prefer.
Ham: I like to use thinly sliced black forest ham from the deli section at my grocery store, but this would also be a great recipe to use up some of our popular Copycat Honey Baked Ham.
Cheese: I think sliced Swiss cheese tastes the best in these hot ham sandwiches, but you could also use Colby-Jack or provolone if you’re not a huge fan of Swiss cheese.
Mayonnaise and Mustard: My favorite sauce for these sliders is a combination of real mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. You could swap the Dijon mustard for yellow mustard if you’d prefer. If you like the sweeter flavor of Miracle Whip, that would also work.
You can also completely omit the mayo if you’d rather have sliders without mayonnaise. If you do that, I think honey mustard would be my top choice for the sauce!
Butter, Garlic, Poppy Seeds, and Dried Parsley: This is what we’re using to make the glaze. The garlic butter glaze adds so much flavor and really elevates these sliders, so I 100% recommend taking the time to make it.
How To Make Ham And Cheese Sliders
Cut the slider rolls in half horizontally, and place the bottom half on a greased baking sheet. Top it with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. (See the recipe card below for the full printable instructions.)
On the bottom half of the slider rolls, layer half of the ham, all of the Swiss cheese, and then the remaining half of the ham. Place the top half of the rolls on top, and lightly press down.
Melt butter in a skillet, then remove it from the heat and mix in the poppy seeds, garlic, and dried parsley. (Don’t saute the butter, it will cook in the oven.)
Brush the garlic butter glaze over top of the sliders, then bake uncovered in a preheated oven until the sandwiches are warmed through (you could also heat them in an air fryer, crock pot, or toaster oven). Slice between the sliders with a knife, and serve. See the recipe card below for the full written instructions, including ingredient amounts, cooking times, and helpful tips, etc.
How Do You Keep Sliders From Getting Soggy?
The main thing is to bake the sliders uncovered. If you cover the tray with aluminum foil, they’ll steam instead of baking in a dry heat. If you prefer the texture of steamed sandwiches, feel free to wrap them in aluminum foil, but the bread will be a bit soggier.
Can Slider Sandwiches Be Frozen?
Yes! They actually make a great freezer meal. You can freeze these sliders before baking them.
You can also make ham sandwiches the night before and let them rest covered in the fridge overnight before baking them the next day.
How Many Sliders Are Needed Per Person?
Since each slider is only a few bites, I’d count on at least 2 sliders per person.
What Goes With Ham And Swiss Sliders?
The best sides to serve with ham and cheese sliders are potato salad, macaroni salad, french fries, chips, and everything bagel dip.
