    Ham and cheese baked on Hawaiian rolls with provolone cheese and a garlic butter make the perfect New Years finger food or fun game day appetizers.

    How To Make Ham and Cheese Sliders

    Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and coat a large baking dish (9×13 or a similar size) with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with the roll bottoms. Top with the ham and the provolone cheese slices.

    Spread a generous amount cream cheese spread onto the insides of the sweet roll tops and place them in a layer on top of the cheese.

    Step 3

    Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350 for 25 minutes, or until warmed through and cheese is melted. Cut at the seams with a knife and serve warm! Place in an air-tight container before placing leftovers in the fridge.

    Recipe Notes

    • Replace the layers of ham with thin sliced turkey or roast beef instead for a different flavor.
    • Replace yellow mustard with honey mustard or dijon mustard for an extra touch of flavor.
    • Although I loooooove using provolone in this recipe because it’s so perfectly ooey-gooey, feel free to swap it out for cheddar, mozzarella or even swiss cheese.
    • Feel free to swap out the butter in the topping with olive oil.
    • Using Hawaiian rolls for these sandwiches produces such a delicious end product, but regular dinner rolls will work fine, too.
    • These are super easy to make ahead of time. Assemble the sandwiches as directed. Mix up the topping but store it separately in the fridge. Brush it over the tops of the sandwiches just before baking.
    • This is a good recipe to freeze. Place them in a resealable bag and wrap in foil. Freeze for up to 4 months!

      Megan, my daughter’s friend invited us over during the New Year’s holiday. She made the best-ever sliders I had ever eaten. I could have eaten a dozen of them. She said she would text me the link to the website where she found the recipe. But I just realized your recipe is exactly the same as those amazing sliders. These taste incredible!

      My friend made these the other day and they were delicious so I asked him for the recipe. I’m making them this Saturday for a trivia night. My only question is, did you use salted or unsalted butter?

        Use unsalted butter because the cheese and ham have plenty of added salt!

      We prefer a recipe from a former coworker – Vivian C. – that mixes the butter, onion, Worcestershire and mustard until smooth, chops the ham and Swiss cheese in a food processor, then mix together and spread on cut buns or croissants. We don’t add the poppy seeds. Then heat in the oven. Thanks for another variation!

      this Sunday for the Super Bowl party. If ham and cheese is to bland, I made a second pan of shaved london broil, swiss cheese and added horseradish sauce. Yummy!

        Thank you. It’s a great recipe to share and be hearty enough to fill you up but also be able to snack on a few other appetizers at a party.

      We did not care for these. My guests thought the flavor was ok but felt the topping made them a bit messy to eat. I may try these again but I will put the topping in between the meet and cheese? I think these would also be good with some pepper jack cheese.

        Putting the topping between the meat and cheese is a great idea! I may just try that next time! And you can never go wrong with pepper jack, in my opinion. Thanks for the comment!

      This is becoming my go to recipe for pot lucks and family gatherings. It has been a hit, I’ve probably made it four times now… getting ready for another batch this morning. I follow the recipe with only a few exceptions. I always forget to buy the minced onion, so I’ve skipped that for the topping, and I put the topping together without the poppy seeds and parmesan. I sprinkle that on top after brushing on the butter mixture. I have found that it goes on better for me that way. Delicious!
