Tips

The best rolls for making ham and cheese sliders are Hawaiian sweet rolls, brioche buns, potato rolls, or pretzel buns. For more decadent sliders, use croissants.

Any deli ham works for the sliders – honey-roasted, Black forest, smoked, or ale-cured will all be delicious.

Add other cold cuts like salami, mortadella, prosciutto, sliced chicken, or roast beef to your sliders.

Instead of Swiss cheese, try cheddar, provolone, Muenster, Monterey Jack, goat cheese, Emmentaler, or Jarlsberg.

No Dijon mustard? Spicy brown mustard, yellow mustard, wholegrain, honey mustard, or hot mustard.

How to Store Ham and Cheese Sliders

Keep your ham and cheese sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat them in the oven at 350F until warmed through.
