These sheet pan ham sliders are quick, easy, and perfect for parties or casual snacks. They combine tender ham, melty cheese, and a sweet-tangy glaze on soft slider buns for a crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 slider buns (soft dinner rolls)
  • 1 pound deli ham, thinly sliced
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese (or provolone, cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the slider buns horizontally in half if not pre-sliced. Arrange the bottom halves snugly on a 9×13 inch sheet pan.
  3. Layer the deli ham evenly over the bottom buns, then top each with a slice of Swiss cheese.
  4. Place the top halves of the slider buns over the ham and cheese layers, pressing down gently to compact them slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, Dijon mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, poppy seeds, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
  6. Generously brush the glaze over the tops of the buns.
  7. Tent the sheet pan loosely with aluminum foil to keep the sliders moist while the cheese melts.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tops are golden and slightly crisp.
  9. Use a sharp knife to cut the sliders apart if they’re still connected. Serve warm immediately.

Notes

Check slider buns for freshness; day-old buns soak up glaze better without falling apart. For gluten-free, use gluten-free slider buns. For dairy-free, substitute butter and cheese with plant-based alternatives. Avoid over-glazing to prevent sogginess. Let sliders rest a few minutes after baking for easier slicing.
