Ham & Swiss Sliders

Today’s recipe uses a classic ham and Swiss cheese combination to create delicious little bites that are perfect for sharing. You may want to make extras, because they will disappear faster than you think.

Ingredients

Hawaiian Rolls – These sweet, soft rolls are the perfect base for all kinds of sliders, adding a touch of sweetness to balance the savory fillings.
Smoked ham – The smoky, savory ham pairs wonderfully with the cheese and rolls.
Swiss cheese, sliced – This creamy, melty cheese brings just the right amount of mild, nutty flavor to the sliders.
Butter, softened – The butter helps to give the sliders a golden, crispy top when baked, making them extra delicious.
Everything but the Bagel seasoning – This seasoning blend is a delicious mix of sesame, onion, and garlic and gives the sliders a little extra crunch.

Tips and Tricks

Use fresh Hawaiian rolls for the best texture and sweetness; day-old rolls might not hold up as well.
Add a little Dijon mustard between the ham and cheese for a zesty twist.
Brush melted butter on top of the rolls and add a sprinkle of poppy seeds or parsley before baking for a little added flavor.
Try using sharp cheddar cheese, provolone, or pepper jack to switch up the flavor profile or add a bit of spice.
Feel free to use honey ham, turkey, chicken, or even roast beef for a new take on these tasty sliders.
Swap out Hawaiian rolls for other soft rolls, like slider buns or dinner rolls, depending on your preference.
