Everything You Need for Garlic Butter Ham and Cheese Sliders

• 12 slider rolls (Hawaiian rolls recommended)
• 1/2 pound deli ham, sliced
• 12 slices Swiss cheese
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Hawaiian rolls are ideal for this recipe because of their slightly sweet flavor and soft texture, which balances the savory notes of ham and cheese. Swiss cheese melts beautifully, while the garlic butter mixture elevates every bite with richness and aroma.

How To Make Garlic Butter Ham and Cheese Sliders Step by Step

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact. Arrange the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
3. Layer the deli ham evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls, followed by the Swiss cheese slices. Place the top halves of the rolls on top to form sandwiches.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, onion powder, and salt.
5. Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the tops of the sliders, ensuring full coverage.

Easy Ingredient Swaps and Substitutions

• Replace Swiss cheese with cheddar or provolone for a slightly sharper or creamier flavor.
• Substitute deli ham with smoked turkey or roast beef for a different protein option.
• Use brioche buns instead of Hawaiian rolls for a richer, buttery flavor and softer texture.

Serving Ideas: Perfect Pairings

• Serve alongside our garlic butter asparagus orzo for a flavorful side dish.
• Offer crispy potato chips or fries for added crunch and a classic pairing.
• Complement with a light soup, such as tomato or vegetable, for a complete meal.

Meal Prep, Storage, and Reheating Tips

To store leftovers, wrap sliders tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place wrapped sliders in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 1 month.

To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the rolls soggy and unevenly warm.

Expert Tips for Perfect Sliders Every Time

• Brush the butter mixture generously to ensure the rolls turn golden and flavorful during baking.
• Use freshly minced garlic for the most aromatic results in your butter spread.
• Cover with foil during the first baking stage to trap heat and melt the cheese evenly.
• Let the sliders cool slightly before serving to prevent them from falling apart when picked up.
