About this recipe
Ham and cheese sliders are the easiest way to make a dozen hot sandwiches at once. Soft, sweet rolls are sliced as a slab, filled with ham and Swiss and drenched in a savoury butter glaze with Dijon, Worcestershire and poppy seeds.
Baking them covered at first melts the cheese, then a few minutes uncovered crisps the tops. They are a hit at game days, parties and family lunches.
Equipment you'll need
- 9 x 13-inch baking dish
- Serrated knife
- Foil
Tips for success
- Assemble up to a day ahead, cover and refrigerate; add the glaze just before baking and add 5 minutes to the covered time.
- Keep the rolls together as a slab; it is much faster than filling them individually.
- Do not leave them at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Substitutions and variations
- Use turkey, roast beef or pulled chicken instead of ham.
- Swap Swiss for cheddar, provolone or pepper Jack.
- Use brioche slider buns instead of sweet rolls.
Storage and reheating
To store: Refrigerate leftovers, covered, for up to 3 days.
To reheat: Reheat covered with foil in a 325°F (165°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes until warmed through.

Step 1: Heat the oven
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the baking dish.

Layer half the cheese, the ham and the remaining cheese over the bottom half. Replace the top half.
Step 4: Glaze
Whisk the melted butter, mustard, Worcestershire, poppy seeds and onion and brush or spoon evenly over the rolls.
Step 5: Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake for 5 to 7 minutes more, until the tops are golden and the cheese has melted.
Step 6: Serve
Cut into individual sliders and serve warm.
