Ham and Swiss Sliders

These scrumptious Ham and Swiss Sliders are so melty and gooey, yet easy to make for all your gatherings.

Ham and Swiss Sliders

It's the season of summer gatherings; graduation parties, baby showers, pool parties, picnics, game day, potlucks and BBQs.  Sliders are the perfect finger food that can be an appetizer, or the main meal, and work for any gathering.

Ham and swiss are iconic flavors and when you serve it hot and I'm in heaven with that melty cheese.  So these are right up my alley.  I've even made these for lunch on the weekend, (adjusting the quantity) just for me and my husband (pictures are from our weekend lunch).  You've gotta change up the plain old sandwich sometimes!

This one has a mix of spicy brown mustard and mayo to accompany the ham and cheese, and it's served on dinner rolls that are topped with a savory butter, garlic mixture.  The topping takes these slider over the top with flavor!  Easy to assemble and then pop them in the oven to melt the cheese and heat up that topping.  Yum!  I'm ready to make another batch just thinking about them.

Enjoy!

What Ingredients do I need?

• dinner rolls
• spicy brown mustard
• mayonnaise
• sliced deli ham
• sliced Swiss cheese
• butter
• poppy seeds
• garlic

Substitutions and Variations

• Use Hawaiian Sweet rolls

• Use any sandwich condiment you like, or try adding some horseradish to the mayo

• Switch up the cheese, try pepper jack, provolone, or Monterey Jack

• Change the meat to turkey or roast beef

• Use the topping for any slider, try Italian cold cuts with provolone etc.

Kitchen Tips and Notes

• Make sure to cut the rolls in half horizontally without separating the rolls.  It will make assembly so much easier.

• You will need aluminum foil to cover the sliders when baking.

• Taking the aluminum foil off for the last 5-10 minutes will help them get brown and a little crustier on the top.

• Make as many slider as your want to fit the situation or number of people you are serving.
