Ham and Cheese Sliders are the perfect fun, quick dinner or for a potluck that kids and adults will love. They start with soft Hawaiian rolls, loaded with ham and cheese, then topped with a zesty, buttery Italian sauce.
I am all about an easy dinner that tastes great and everybody in my family will love. I have been making hoagies similar to these sliders for a long time, Zesty Italian Ham and Cheese Hoagies. They have always been one of our favorite easy sandwiches for dinner. Switching over and making the same type of sandwich as sliders were simple. Let me know what you think!
Try some of our favorite side dishes, such as Broccoli Salad, Creamy Macaroni and Cheese, or Pea, Bacon, Ranch Pasta Salad.

Top Tips
- Try a variation of the sandwich with sliced turkey.
- You can use any variety of ham – We usually like a black forest or honey ham.
- You can try a different type of cheese, we just prefer swiss. Other great options are provolone, pepper jack, cheddar or colby jack.
- You can assemble these sandwiches up to 4 hours in advance. Store them covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to put them in the oven.
- They are best eaten while hot, right out of the oven.
- If you have any leftovers, store them for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, in an airtight container.
How to make Ham and Cheese Sliders
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or two 9x13" baking dishes with nonstick cooking spray.
- Slice the bread rolls in half. Either cut them all at one time or just pull them apart and cut in half.
- Place the bottoms of the rolls into your prepared sheet/dish.
- Layer about half of the ham.
- Arrange cheese slices over the ham.
- Place the tops of the rolls onto the sandwiches.
- Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl, then whisk in the dry Italian packages.
- Pour the buttery sauce over the top of the rolls. Do not worry about butter puddles, as they will soak into the bread.
- Bake in preheated 350 degree oven, until rolls are golden and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Slice through the sandwiches and serve hot.
