These easy ham and cheese sliders feature soft slider buns, layers of deli ham, Swiss and sharp cheddar cheese, and a buttery garlic butter sauce for a gooey, melty, and crowd-pleasing snack perfect for parties and quick gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 slider buns (preferably soft Hawaiian rolls)
  • 12 ounces deli ham, thinly sliced
  • 6 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced
  • 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the slider buns horizontally into two layers, keeping tops and bottoms together.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds until smooth; set aside.
  4. Arrange the bottom buns snugly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  5. Spread about half of the garlic butter sauce evenly over the bottom buns.
  6. Layer the deli ham evenly over the bottoms.
  7. Add slices of Swiss and sharp cheddar cheese over the ham.
  8. Place the top buns over the cheese layer, pressing down gently.
  9. Brush the remaining garlic butter sauce generously over the tops of the buns.
  10. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until tops are golden and crisp.
  12. Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing between each bun and serving.

Notes

If cheese isn’t melting evenly, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch closely to avoid burning. Use a serrated knife and gentle sawing motion to slice buns cleanly. For gluten-free or dairy-free options, substitute buns and cheese accordingly. Avoid microwaving leftovers to prevent chewy bread and rubbery cheese.
