These ham and cheese sliders are the best! They turn out flavorful and a little crispy on the bottoms and sides, but still soft and cheesy in the middle. We made these sliders for a bridal shower and served with a variety of fresh fruit (pineapple, strawberries and grapes), cheese and crackers, sweet treats and lemonade. It was perfect.
Leftovers the next day were still delicious- just zapped in the microwave for a minute or two.
Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders Recipe
Ingredients (makes 24 sliders):
- 2 (12 count) packages of King’s Hawaiian Rolls (original)
- 24 slices honey ham deli lunch meat or regular ham
- 24 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 2-3 Tbsp. minced onion (I sauteed the onion in a little butter before adding it, but not sure if this is necessary)
- 11/2 tsp. mustard (I used regular French’s mustard)
- 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
- note: Sometimes the bag of rolls come in 18-count instead of 2 bags of 12. I’ve made these with the 18 count bag of rolls, and did everything else the same except used 1/4 C. butter instead of 1/2 C. butter. And of course only 18 slices of ham and cheese instead of 24.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a rimmed cookie sheet with foil. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Cut the rolls in half.
Put the bottom parts on top of the foil. Top the bottom part of each roll with 1 slice of ham (folded up a bit) and one slice of cheese. Then put the tops on each roll.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, minced onion, mustard and poppy seeds. Stir, then drizzle over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil, then bake 2 more minutes. Serve warm.

**Another great way to use up extra ham is to add it to SCRAMBLED EGGS.
