These baked ham and cheese sliders are topped with a buttery Dijon, onion, and poppy seed glaze! Watch them disappear at your next party.
I first served these ham and cheese sliders at a baby shower. It was a storybook themed shower and we needed something to represent the Green Eggs and Ham book. These sandwiches disappeared first and every one raved about them.
To make them, you need Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. nThey are a soft, fluffy sweet roll that has a melt in your mouth texture. If you are unable to find them use some type of slider roll or light, fluffy dinner roll.
Ingredients Needed
- Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- Black Forest Ham
- Provolone Cheese
- Cream Cheese
- Butter
- Yellow Mustard
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Minced Onions

How to Make Ham and Cheese Sliders
- Line your 9 x 13 pan with the bottom half of the rolls.

- Add a slice of cheese to each roll.
- Spread a layer of cream cheese on the top half of the bun and place on top.
- Combine melted butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and onions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make hot ham and cheese sliders ahead of time?
Yes, ham and cheese sliders are a great make ahead meal. Make the sandwiches, but do not add the melted butter mixture, Parmesan cheese, or Poppy seeds. Store them covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add melted butter mixture, cheese and seeds right before baking. These sandwiches are best served warm.

I’ve made these several times now and making them again this weekend, always a bit hit. I have found (and maybe it’s just me?) that when I put the
ham on the bottom and then the cheese slice with the bread lid directly on
top of the cheese, the tops tend to slip off to the side as the cheese melts
while baking. I’m going to try and put the cheese between the folded ham and see how that goes. I also tried it on NYE with the warmed raspberry preserves and everyone loved it, what a grreat addition!
Jennifer says
I’m thinking these would be really good with a little crushed pineapple mixed into the cream cheese before spreading on the bread. Bring a little more “Hawaiian” into the recipe. I’ll let you know if I try it.

I also make these with Boar’s Head Virginia Ham thinly sliced and mascarpone cheese (soft,sweet and tasty) instead of regular cream cheese with the same type of topping. A side of heated/melted qood quality raspberry preserves/jam makes a surprisingly good dipping sauce (also served right away). I was inspired to make these after eating a similar sandwich at a historical tavern in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. Yum!
