Assemble these simple, savory ham and cheese sliders the day before. They bake up golden brown with a flavorful poppy seed glaze, making them perfect party appetizers for feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1 pound thinly sliced deli ham
  • 1 pound thinly sliced Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Layer the ham evenly over the bottom layer of rolls. Top the ham with the Swiss cheese slices, covering the entire surface. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, and dried minced onion until combined.
  5. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the top of the assembled sliders. Use a pastry brush or spoon to spread the glaze across all the rolls.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  8. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the rolls. Serve warm as easy lunch ideas or party appetizers.

Notes

  • You can assemble these baked sliders recipe components up to 24 hours ahead of time. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the covered baking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
  • For extra flavor, use a mix of cheeses like provolone or mild cheddar along with the Swiss.
  • These are a great make-ahead option for informal gatherings.
