Ham and Cheese Sliders are savory baked ham sandwiches brushed with a tangy and buttery mustard poppy seed sauce. They’re so fast and easy to put together. Make these sliders and you’ll never want to go back to those plain (and boring) ham and cheese sandwiches again!
These sliders have been a family favorite for years. I’ve made them for a million different events, or at least it feels that way, and they never disappoint! You could name just about any sort of family party or gathering, and sure enough these ham and cheese sliders have been on the menu. It’s no surprise why, they are SO easy to whip up, taste incredible and make for the ultimate party food to feed a whole crowd!
Who doesn’t love layers of sliced ham and gooey Swiss cheese between soft dinner rolls that are baked to utter perfection? And who wouldn’t love said gooey ham and cheese sandwich covered in the most buttery, tangy and flavor-filled poppy seed mustard sauce? Only a crazy person wouldn’t, that’s who. 😉
As if these babies aren’t great enough, they are also easily customizable! By that I mean you could easily switch up the meat, cheese or rolls that you use depending on your personal preference.
If you’re not really a fan of ham, go ahead and swap it out for turkey! Or if you do like ham, you can also try different flavors like honey-glazed, smoked or maple depending on the flavor profile you’re shooting for. Going along with the flavor, if you want something a little more sweet to go with the savory, you could use sweet Hawaiian rolls instead of normal dinner rolls. My family has actually tried them this way many times and they taste amazing!
Serve these at your next potluck, party or social gathering and there won’t be one sandwich left! They also make for an easy weeknight dinner when you’re not in the mood to hear complaints from those picky eaters of yours.

one of my best friends is getting married and these were served at her bridal shower! they were to die for and i can’t wait to borrow your recipe to make some of my own 🙂
One of my co-workers makes something like this for our work gatherings (well, let’s be honest – his wife makes them). They are SO good! And its been a while since I’ve had them so thanks for the reminder! I love your recipes, by the way!
I’ve made these, well, they are similar. The recipe I have doesn’t have poppy seeds. But seriously though, they are really, really good! A must-try!
Ohhh, we LOVE these! MMMM…maybe I should make a run for the store and get the stuff to have them for lunch today….oh, oh, oh YUMMMM!
What a great reminder of these yummy little sandwiches! It’s been years since I’ve had them (or even thought about making them). I’m so gald I saw this post this morning. Definitely going to add these to my meal plans for next week. Thanks 🙂

These are adorable! I like the poppyseed sauce on top of the rolls to give them a little something extra.
Yum. Those look fabulous. We make some in the summer on the grill, which reminds me I want to make them soon.
Thanks for sharing!

yummy..looks so easy
Oh, these look fabulous! I’m definitely going to use these for my son’s high school grad party (a year away, but this will start my file!). And they’ll probably be tested a few times before that 🙂
Those look great. I am especially intrigued by the poppy seed sauce. Sounds yummy!
This is one I drooled over the first time I saw it, I bet so delish.
I love these little sandwiches! Wish I had me some ham & cheese so I could make some right now! YUM!
Pretty much one of my most favorite sandwiches. I’ve been making a version of these for years. They are so good. Thanks for posting this….I need to make them soon.
Now these look perfect for a light weekend lunch. Thanks for sharing!
These look like they would melt in your mouth- yum!!!
Oh how cuuttee!! This is a nice little slider for one of the brunch options! You made it very nicely too. Great idea on poppy seed sauce!
Holly, the pictures are making my mouth water. This looks so yummy. Once again your recipe rocks!
Ohh what a mouthwatering photos Holly! I love how you put together these sliders, very well done!!!
Those look delicious and I’m sure my kiddos would love them too. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve bestowed the Versatile Blogger Award on you. Stop by my site to check it out. I’m at whatthedogate.blogspot.com.
I’ve made these ham sammies all week. They are amazing. Thanks for sharing!!
I made these last night and they were fabulous!! I used 6 “Lite” Hamburger Buns (watching my figure!) and they worked out perfectly. Delicious! I can’t wait to eat the leftover for lunch today! Thanks for sharing!
Made these this week and they were a huge hit! Should have doubled the batch. I used Hawaiian mini sub rolls and it was awesome. I have one non-ham eater in the house so I made hers with turkey and she said it was delish!
Assembled 36 of these at lunch today. So easy and I can’t wait to try them; they look delicious!
I’m thinkong that everything bagel seasoning would be really good on these! Im going to try these for game snacks on sunday!
Your ham and cheese sliders are my family’s favorite. We make them for birthday parties and holidays all the time. Last week I made them for my sons graduation party. Huge hit. Thank you Miss Holly!
