I can’t say enough incredible things about our savory and beyond delicious ham and cheese sliders served on sweet Hawaiian rolls. They are cheesy, delicious, and easy to make. They consist of fluffy Hawaiian rolls, with ham and melted cheese and a dijon mustard Worcestershire sauce poured over the top.
These rolls make are a great game easy everyday snack, perfect day appetizer, and the best side dish to make for any party!

We made the ham and cheese sliders to serve at our tropical party and they were GONE in the first 30 minutes. Not because we didn’t have enough, our guests kept going back for more and MORE! They are addicting so beware!
Why We Love These Ham and Cheese Sliders
They’re made with thinly sliced ham, swiss cheese, butter, and a mixture of spices. They truly are the best and can be served for so many parties from the super bowl, to an Oscars party, a summer tropical party, or even for a simple weekday dinner. Here’s why we love them:
- They are super easy to make.
- The flavor of djon and worcestershire sauce make them so flavorful.
- The layers of ham and melted cheese create the most perfect mini sandwich.
- Hawiian rolls add a sweet flavor and they are pillowy soft!
Ham and Cheese Slider Recipe
This is a classic recipe that we’ve slightly altered to make our own! It makes 12 rolls and individual sliders.
Ingredients
- Sliced Ham
- Swiss Cheese
- Kings Hawaiian Rolls
- Dijon Mustard
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Poppy Seeds
- Dried Minced Onion
Directions
Melt the butter mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, and dried minced onion in a bowl. Set aside while you assemble the sliders.
Hawaiian rolls are connected when removed from the bag. You can leave them connected and then just cut horizontally through the center to make a top and a bottom. A bread knife works well for this step.
This helps because then you can just make one large sandwich and cut them at them after they bake!
Once you have the top and bottom, place the bottom rolls in a 9 x 13 baking pan.
Add half of the ham on the bottom, then half of the cheese, then ham and cheese again.
Place the Hawaiian roll tops back on and then pour the butter mixture all over the top. Use a spatula to get all of the ingredients and poppy seeds out.
Since these are baked ham and cheese sliders, toss them in a preheated 350-degree oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted.
When they’re done, cut each roll individually. Serve warm!
King Hawaiian Rolls
We use King’s Original Hawaiian because they’re perfectly sweet, fluffy, and moist. The perfect bun for these ham and cheese sliders! Here are some flavors you can use to make your sliders!
- Original Hawaiian
- Savory Butter
- Honey Wheat
How to keep Hawaiian Roll Ham and Cheese Sliders Warm
Keep the sliders wrapped in tin foil on the table. You can also wrap them individually to keep them extra warm! Furthermore, some people go as far as tossing them in a heated crockpot, wrapped in foil.
Personally, I don’t love the look of that at a party, but you can also turn the oven to 200 and keep the wrapped sliders in there too. Take them out right before serving.
How many Hawaiian rolls come in a package?
12 rolls come in one package and this recipe is for 12 sliders. Just double the serving size to make more!
Are King’s Hawaiian Rolls supposed to be baked?
They are already baked rolls, but you can warm them in the oven as we did for these sliders. They taste better warm with melted butter!
