One Pan Ham and Cheese Sliders
These One Pan Ham and Cheese Sliders are buttery, cheesy, and the perfect quick dinner for family gatherings or cozy nights.
Ingredients
For the sliders
- 12 pieces slider rolls or small dinner rolls soft, slightly sweet; brioche works beautifully.
- 8 ounces sliced ham thinly sliced for layering; swap for turkey or roast chicken for a leaner option.
- 10 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, sliced melts into golden goodness; use Swiss or Gruyere for a nuttier flavor.
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted brushes the tops and adds that irresistible golden crust.
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard brightens the richness; substitute whole-grain mustard for texture.
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds optional, for bakery-style finish.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder adds cozy depth; fresh minced garlic (1 clove) is a fine swap.
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup a hint of sweetness to balance savory notes.
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish and freshness.
- Nutritional yeast optional, adds cheesy flavor without dairy for lighter versions.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 baking pan lightly.
- Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally and arrange the bottom halves in the pan.
- Layer ham evenly across the rolls, folding slices so each bite has meat.
- Layer cheese over the ham, then place the top halves of the rolls on.
- In a small bowl, whisk melted butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and honey until glossy. Brush generously over the rolls.
- Cover the pan loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5–8 minutes until the tops are golden.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with parsley, slice between each slider, and serve warm.
Notes
Swap ham for smoked turkey or thin roast beef for a different flavor. Make spicy by adding sriracha to the butter. Add pickles or caramelized onions for extra flavor. Use low-fat cheese and whole grain rolls for a healthier version. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
