I don't know about you, but these Hawaiian roll sliders are one of my favorite appetizers to eat at a party.  Every get-together that has food, I always hope to find these on the table somewhere.  BUT, we also eat these for lunch AND dinner.

Ingredients for Ham and Cheese Sliders

It's so easy to throw these Hawaiian sliders together for a quick weeknight meal or a Sunday afternoon lunch.  Gather these ingredients:

Grocery list:

  • Hawaiian rolls (12 ct.)
  • Deli ham (8 oz.)
  • Swiss cheese (6 slices)
  • Mayonnaise (¼ cup)
  • Butter (¼ cup)
  • Dijon mustard (1 Tbsp)
  • Onion powder (2 tsp)
  • Poppy seeds (2 tsp)
  • Worcestershire sauce (½ tsp)
  • Salt (½ tsp)

The major brand of Hawaiian rolls can be expensive, which is why I always keep my eye out for the generic store brand version.  Our local Kroger store carries their copycat version for at least $2 cheaper than the major brand, but they can be hard to find in stock.

  2. Slice rolls horizontally in half.
  3. Place bottom half of rolls in baking dish.

  8. Cover with foil and let rest 10 minutes.
  9. Bake 10 minutes, uncover, bake another 2-3 minutes.

This recipe yields 12 servings as an appetizer -- so more like 6 servings as a lunch/dinner..  You can easily double the recipe and use either a larger pan or two pans.  Click here for full recipe ingredients and instructions.

Top Tips and Tricks

Do not separate the rolls until after baked.  I use a large serrated knife to slice all 12 rolls in half while they are still connected, so that I have two large halves.  Once they come out of the oven you can transfer the whole thing to a cutting board or slice them into their separate sandwiches right from the pan.

Try other variations.  There are many variations you can make of these sliders -- pizza, meatball, Philly cheese steak, turkey, etc.  I'm hoping to share more with you soon!

Leftovers.  These heat up well as leftovers.  Store them in the fridge, or freeze them for later.

A few items that might help you with this recipe:
Serrated bread knife (a large one so you can cut through the whole loaf of rolls at once)
Poppy seeds (you can find these at your store, but I thought I'd give a visual for those who aren't familiar)
