Look, I’ll be honest—I’m not here for the football game. Never have been, probably never will be. But the snack spread? That’s my Super Bowl. And these Ham and Swiss Sliders on Hawaiian rolls are the reason I actually show up for any football party. They’re warm, a little buttery, a little garlicky, and completely impossible to eat just one of. These disappear off the tray before halftime every time.

These ham and swiss sliders are my go-to whenever I need to feed a crowd. The garlic mayo on the bottom, the honey butter slathered on top, the melty swiss pooling into every bite of those soft Hawaiian rolls—it’s literal perfection. I also love that both adults and kids enjoy these. Once you make them, you’ll wonder why you ever bought sliders anywhere else. Want more crowd-pleasing bites?

😍 Why You’ll Love These Ham and Swiss Sliders

Made for a crowd, gone in minutes: these go fast every single time.
Two sauces: the garlic mayo on the bottom and the honey butter on top aren’t optional extras.
Hawaiian rolls are doing a lot here: that subtle sweetness from the bread plays perfectly against the salty ham and nutty swiss.
Fast and easy: from fridge to table in under 35 minutes, and most of that is just waiting for the oven.

🥪 Ingredients You’ll Need to Make These Ham and Swiss Sliders

Kings Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls: don’t swap these out. The slight sweetness is part of what makes this recipe work, and the rolls hold up to the butter and baking.
Deli ham: folded in half so you get a good meaty layer without everything sliding around. Go with a good quality ham.
Swiss cheese: large slices laid over the ham so every single slider gets full coverage and that perfect melty pull.
Mayonnaise: keeps the bottom layer of bread moist and adds a subtle creaminess.

Garlic: minced and stirred into the mayo, it mellows out as it bakes and adds just the right amount of depth.
Butter: softened so it mixes easily with everything else.
Honey: just half a teaspoon, but it rounds out the butter and plays so nicely against the savory mustard and worcestershire.
Worcestershire sauce: adds a savory depth to the honey butter.
Yellow mustard: a small amount, but it cuts through the richness.

Parsley: finely chopped and stirred through the butter for a little color and a fresh herby note.
Garlic powder: even with fresh garlic already in the mayo, garlic powder in the butter adds a different, more mellow and toasty garlic flavor that rounds everything out.
Onion powder: subtle but it adds a savory backbone to the honey butter.
Paprika: just a pinch, but it gives the butter a slight warmth and a tiny bit of color.

✔️ How to Make Ham and Swiss Sliders

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Without pulling the rolls apart, slice the whole tray of rolls in half using a large serrated knife.

Place the bottom layer of rolls in a lightly greased 9×13 baking pan. Combine the garlic mayo in a small bowl and spread evenly on the bottom layer of the rolls.

Layer the ham evenly on the bread, followed by the sliced cheese and add the top layer of the rolls. In a small bowl, stir together the honey butter ingredients and lather evenly on the top of the rolls.

Cover with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 5-10 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheese is melted. Slice and serve right away.

🗒 Variations

Extra cheesy: add a layer of provolone underneath the swiss.
Smoky twist: swap the regular deli ham for smoked honey ham.
Spicy version: mix a little hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne into the honey butter if you want some heat cutting through all that richness.

🗒 Substitutions

Rolls: if you can’t find Kings Hawaiian, any soft dinner roll works—just look for something slightly sweet and pillowy.
Ham: honey ham, black forest ham, or even leftover roast turkey all work well here depending on what you have.
Swiss cheese: gruyère, provolone, or havarti are all good melting cheeses that work in place of swiss if needed.

🍴 Leftovers? Lucky You.

These keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, wrap a few in foil and warm them in a 325°F oven for about 10 minutes, or microwave individually for 20–30 seconds.
