King’s Hawaiian Sliders

Whether you need an under 30 minute dinner recipe or a tailgating or holiday party comfort food, these hot ham and cheese sliders will definitely be a hit with everyone.

• Switch up the deli meat. I love that you can add your favorite deli meat. We love turkey and roast beef and sometimes I put all 3 on the sliders for a “club style sandwich” slider.
• Feeds a crowd. It makes 12 sandwiches but most people have 2-3. So I always double or triple this recipe if I’m making it for game day.
• Just like the meat, you can change up the cheese. I like cheddar, mozzarella, provolone or if you’re looking for a little kick, pepper jack cheese is amazing with roast beef.
• I don’t like poppyseeds, so I don’t add them to my buttery glaze but if you love poppyseeds…add about 2 teaspoons of poppyseeds to the butter glaze. You can also add everything bagel seasoning too.

Ingredients For Ham and Cheese Sliders

• Hawaiian Rolls: I love using King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls because they have the best flavor. But you could use slider buns or dinner rolls.
• Ham: You can use any type of ham. I like to use Black Forest ham but you could use honey ham or even leftover crockpot ham from Christmas/Easter.
• Cheese: I used Swiss cheese but you can use any cheese you like. Can’t go wrong with cheese.
• Mayo: I add mayo to the bottom layer but you could use butter or just keep it plain.
• Buttery Glaze: I use yellow mustard, minced onions, Worcestershire sauce and of course, melted butter. It’s honestly the best, so delicious. You could also add garlic powder if you like garlic.

How To Make Hawaiian Roll Sliders

1. Baking Sheet. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or you can use a large baking dish too.
2. Cut. Using a bread knife, cut the Hawaiian rolls in half so you have a top and bottom but don’t separate the buns.
3. Spread. Evenly spread the mayo onto the top and bottom of each half. Place bottom half onto the baking sheet.
4. Add. Place the ham and Swiss cheese on top of the bottom half of the buns.
5. Make Buttery Glaze. Whisk together all the ingredients and brush on top of the buns. If you don’t have a brush, you can drizzle the buttery glaze on top of the buns.
6. Bake. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops of the buns are lightly toasted.

Expert Tips

• Easy to pull apart. To make it easy to pull the sliders apart, place a slice or two of folded ham on each roll instead of layering the slices across the entire bottom half.
• Eat them right away. These sliders are best when you eat them right out of the oven.
• Make ahead. You can make these sliders ahead of time, just wait to brush the buttery glaze until ready to bake them or the buns will get soggy.
