Ingredients
  

  • 12 slider buns Hawaiian rolls work best
  • 12 slices deli ham
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is important for even baking. Lightly grease your baking dish with butter or oil to prevent sticking.

Slice the Slider Buns

  • Keep the buns together and slice them in half horizontally. Use a sharp knife. Do not separate the rolls yet. Place the bottom half in the baking dish.

Add the Ham

  • Lay the ham slices evenly over the bottom buns. Fold the slices if needed. Make sure every roll gets enough ham for good flavor.

Add the Cheese

  • Place Swiss cheese slices on top of the ham. Cover the ham completely. The cheese will melt beautifully while baking and hold everything together.

Cover with Top Buns

  • Place the top half of the buns over the cheese. Press gently so everything stays in place. Keep the sliders tight and neat in the dish.

Make the Butter Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Dijon mustard, honey, poppy seeds, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir well until everything is fully combined.

Brush the Sauce

  • Use a pastry brush to spread the butter mixture over the tops. Cover all rolls evenly. Let some sauce drip between the sliders for extra flavor.

Cover and Bake

  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes. This helps the cheese melt and keeps the bread soft.

Uncover and Finish Baking

  • Remove the foil carefully. Bake for another 5 minutes. The tops will become golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from oven and cool slightly.

Slice and Serve

  • Use a knife to cut along the roll lines. Serve warm for best taste. Enjoy your homemade Pioneer Woman Ham and Cheese Sliders Recipe.

Notes

  • Use fresh and soft slider buns for best results.
  • Do not skip covering with foil first. It keeps sliders moist.
  • Add a little extra cheese for more creaminess.
  • You can use cheddar instead of Swiss if you prefer.
  • Let sliders rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
