I love making these easy ham and cheese sliders for gatherings or game day. It’s an easy weeknight dinner that the whole family will love too. This easy recipe comes together with just a few ingredients, can be made ahead of time, and is always a huge hit! Got leftover ham? This recipe is a great way to use any leftover ham from the holidays.
The sweetness of the Hawaiian rolls provides the perfect base and are topped with sliced ham, gooey Swiss cheese slices, and an insanely delicious Dijon honey mustard glaze on top of the rolls.
The savory butter glaze takes these sliders to the next level with its combination of melted butter, zesty Dijon mustard, honey, savory onion and poppy seeds. When baked until golden brown, the glaze caramelizes on the rolls for an irresistible flavor and texture.
Whether serving as a main dish, and appetizer or handing them out as snacks for your big game party, these Hawaiian roll sliders are sure to disappear fast. They’re easy to pick up, and devour in just a few tasty bites!

Ham and Cheese Hawaiian Slider Tips & Tricks
- Use a serrated knife to cleanly cut the rolls in half without smashing them down. Cut them as evenly as possible for uniform sliders.
- Generously brush the top half of the rolls with the glaze before baking so it seeps down into the crevices and caramelizes.
- Let the assembled sliders cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the melted swiss cheese filling to set up. This makes them easier to eat.
- For extra flavor, try adding pineapple slices, crispy bacon, jalapeño peppers, or grilled onions between the ham and cheese layers. Sometimes I like to set these out as extras so people can customize their sliders!
- Chill the assembled sliders in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours before baking if you want to prep them ahead of time.
- I like to top my ham sliders with everything bagel seasoning.
- If you can’t find soft Hawaiian rolls, you can substitute with small dinner rolls instead.
