Just pair them with a salad and you’ve got a delicious meal to bless a friend. These sliders are best served warm. They can be reheated the next day, but will be mushier. They are best right out of the oven.

Can This Recipe Be Made Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can prep the sliders the day before the party, but I wouldn’t add the butter or other seasonings until you are ready to bake the next day. Simply assemble the bread, ham and cheese, then cover with foil and refrigerate until you are ready to add the butter and other toppings before baking.

Can Ham and Swiss Sliders be Frozen?

Yes! You can assemble the bread, meat and cheese and cover with plastic wrap or foil before freezing, but again I wouldn’t add the butter or other seasonings until right before baking, otherwise they will run the risk of being mushy.

Are Ham and Swiss Sliders Good Cold?

Of course this is all personal opinion, but yes they taste great hot or cold. Serve them anyway that you wish.

What Kind of Cheese Goes Well with Ham?

You may be wondering if you can substitute the cheese in this recipe and the answer is yes. The best widely available sliced cheese that go well with ham are Swiss, provolone, Monterey or cheddar.

What Can I Serve with Sliders as an Easy Side Dish?

FAQs

How do I stop my sliders from burning on the bottom? ›

It's important to have proper cover for the sliders so that they properly warm in the middle without getting burnt. Here's how to perfect the process: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, which gives the sandwiches time to heat through to the center while preventing the bread from browning too quickly.

Why are my sliders soggy on the bottom? ›

To ensure these mini sandwiches don't get soggy, pop the split rolls under the broiler for a few minutes to toast them before building the sliders. This helps keep the bread sturdy so the sandwiches don't fall apart.

What cheese goes best with ham? ›

While Swiss is the first cheese that comes to mind with ham, Cheddar is second in popularity (and the first choice for many) for a classic ham and cheese sandwich, and makes a nice plate partner for ham. The sharpness of Cheddar cheese cuts through the sweetness of the glaze and balances the ham's saltiness.

What to eat with ham and cheese sliders? ›

Serve them along with other small bites like chips and dip, nuts, and fresh fruit for an impressive starter course. Make sliders the centerpiece of your meal by pairing them with sides like grilled asparagus, pasta salad, or roasted potatoes.

How do I keep my bottom slider from getting soggy? ›

Don't skip toasting the buns.

Toasting the bottom of the rolls ensures that the bottoms don't become soggy when topped with the honey mustard, ham, cheese, and butter. I recommend also toasting the top buns if you are making ahead.

How can I make my sliders more comfortable? ›

Tips for Breaking Into Your Slides
  1. Spray a generous amount of water inside each slide, put on a pair of cozy socks and traipse around the house for about 30 minutes OR.
  2. Soak your feet in some water (foot spa!) and wear the slides around the house for around 30 minutes.

Which cheese is better for you, Swiss or provolone? ›

Swiss is a great lunch alternative to higher fat sandwich cheeses like provolone and cheddar. Chop up slices to use in a Cobb salad. Swiss is high in vitamin A and low in calories, fat and sodium.

What kind of ham is best for sandwiches? ›

Buying Guide for Ham for Sandwiches

If you're looking for a smoky taste, opt for Black Forest smoked ham or country ham. For something more subtle in flavor and with a lower sodium content, try baked ham. Spiral-cut hams are also delicious and make for easy slicing for your sandwich creations.

What condiment is best on ham sandwich? ›

You really don't need much else, however, I do like a good pinch of cracked black pepper and a very thin spread of dijon mustard. Just make sure it's a very thin layer of mustard, just so it doesn't overpower the sandwich.

How do you keep sliders warm before serving? ›

Don't stress, there are a few options you can use when keeping appetizers warm. Your first option is to place your baked sliders straight into an aluminum tray and cover tightly with foil. The second option is, as soon as the sliders come out of the oven, stack them one by one into a crockpot set to warm.

Can you make ham and cheese sliders without poppy seeds? ›

Deli ham – You can also use leftover ham like from our Crockpot Spiral Ham. Swiss cheese slices – I use provolone and mozzarella a lot too. Poppy seeds – I often make it without these. The recipe works just fine.

How to prevent bagels from burning on the bottom? ›

If your baking sheets are thin, or if your oven tends to over-brown baked goods, try doubling up your baking sheets or putting an empty sheet on the rack below your bagels to help absorb some of the direct heat.

Why did my sliders burn? ›

If you keep them in the oven any longer or try to keep them warm at a low temperature, the bottoms will burn. While it won't affect the taste, it certainly will affect your presentation!

How do you keep sliders hot? ›

Best ways to keep sliders warm during a potluck

Use crock pots to serve food. Borrow extra vessels to keep all your food warm. Use a heating pad to keep your food warm. Use a chafing dish filled with hot water.
