Mmmmmmmm, sliders! A good sliders recipe is never a bad thing to have up your sleeve. They're quick, easy and always a hit at any gathering to feed a crowd (gameday, anyone?). So naturally, I'm all over these kind of recipes! I currently have one other slider recipe on this site, my Baked Buffalo Chicken Sliders and it's one of my most popular recipes (and with good reason- yum!).

This hot ham and cheese sliders recipe is along those same lines. I mean who doesn't love ham and cheese sandwiches?  You can use ham and Swiss from your local deli and I went with Hawaiian rolls because the only thing better than regular sliders is Hawaiian roll sliders.

Tips for making ham and Swiss sliders

• I encourage you to use Hawaiian rolls when making any sort of sliders- I've tested a variety of different rolls for various slider recipes and Hawaiian rolls always add the best flavor and are the easiest to cut.
• If you can, try to keep the tops of the rolls and the bottoms each in one piece when you cut them in half. I use a really sharp bread knife and slowly cut through the middle, making sure to keep an eye on both sides so as not to thin out the tops or bottoms too much.
• Baking the bottom buns for a few minutes helps to avoid the honey mustard sauce making the bottom buns get soggy.
• I gave a range of the amounts of ham and cheese slices you'll need because each brand is a little different in terms of size.
• Don't skip the butter and poppy seed topping for the buns, trust me! That butter mixture adds killer flavor
• If you want extra honey mustard sauce for dipping, double those ingredients.

Can you make ham and cheese sliders ahead of time?

You can assemble these in advance and bake them just before serving. You can also make the honey mustard sauce up to a week ahead.

Can I use dijon mustard?

Yes- It'll add a bit of spiciness, but you can totally make the switch.

What if I don't like mustard?

You can leave it off, but you might want to substitute another favorite sauce because they're a little dry without any sauce (I tested these without sauce too because my husband hates mustard!).

What cheese goes best with ham?

It's totally a matter of opinion but I think Swiss goes best. If you prefer a different type of cheese, feel free to use that instead!

What temp do you bake sliders?

I bake mine at 350 degrees.

Are ham and cheese sliders good cold?

These are definitely best served right away.

How do you reheat ham and cheese sliders?

The oven is best for this- reheat in a baking dish covered in foil at 350 degrees until heather through. Make sure you store leftovers covered in the fridge until you're ready to reheat. They'll last for 2-3 days.
