How To Make Ham and Cheese Sliders

Ham and cheese sliders are so easy to make, here are the simple instructions for preparing these ham and cheese sliders: 

1. Slice the dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls in half with a large serrated knife so you have your tops and bottoms separated. If they are attached, don’t worry about separating them. The goal is to keep the rolls connected but it is ok if some are not. 
2. Combine your topping ingredients and set aside.
3. Spoon some of the topping into the bottom of the baking dish or lightly grease pan with cooking spray 
4. Place the bottom half of the rolls in a baking pan,
5. Top and layer with ham and cheese.
6. Brush the tops with the remaining butter mixture and bake until cheese is melted and they are golden and serve warm
   
   

Tips For Making Tasty Ham and Cheese Sliders Every Time:

• Make Sure to Slice before serving. If you are using large slices of leftover ham like I did in this recipe, I recommend slicing these little sandwiches before serving them rather than just pulling them apart. 
• If using Deli ham try folding each to fit each roll then its easier to serve uncut for pulling apart 
• If you don’t want to use up the butter mixture on the bottom of the pan and buns, feel free to use some cooking spray to grease the bottom of the pan before adding the buns. 
• Feel free to drizzle on a little of the butter mixture on top of the bottom layer of the buns before adding the cheese 
• Allow the rolls to sit assembled with the butter mixture over top for a 5-10 minutes to allow the buttery mixture to soak in and the ham and cheese come to room temperature - this will ensure everything gets warmed through evenly too. (this step is optional but recommended) 
  
  

Storage & Make Ahead

• STORAGE - Properly stored slider leftovers can last up to two days in the refrigerator. When it’s time to reheat, simply cover the ham and cheese sandwiches and bake at 350°F until warmed thoroughly.
• MAKE AHEAD - You can make these ham and cheese sliders ahead but up to a point. You can cut the rolls in half and prep then layer on the ham and Swiss cheese. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and refrigerate until you are ready to add the butter mixture and bake. Make sure and wait to brush on the butter mixture until you’re ready to bake them off. Otherwise the rolls will become soggy.
