I had no doubt that with all the rave reviews that these sandwiches had received from fellow bloggers, that they’d be a huge hit at our daughter’s birthday party.
They did not disappoint.
Meet the rockstars of the party, Ham and Cheese Sliders.
I sweetened my favorite dinner roll dough with honey, split the baked rolls and filled them with maple-glazed ham and swiss cheese, and then topped that with a glaze that features mustard, brown sugar, crack, and butter.
I’m kidding about the crack.
Kind of.
They’re addicting. They’re the perfect one-handed party food. And they will be showing up on our Super Bowl menu for sure.
Try to only eat two.
You can take a short cut and use your favorite sweet, white dinner rolls – that shaves 2 hours off the prep time. But I totally think the homemade bread is worth it.
Sliders made with soft, sweetened white rolls, and topped with a sweet and savory glaze.
Ingredients
- For the dinner rolls:
- 2 packages (2 1/4 tsp each) yeast
- 1 1/2 cup lukewarm water
- 1/4 cup oil (vegetable, canola, or olive) plus more for greasing bowl and pan
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 6 1/2-7 cups flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp melted butter
- For the sandwiches:
- 28 slices of maple-glazed ham
- 28 slices of swiss cheese (or 14 large slices, cut in half)
- For the glaze:
- 8 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire
- 1 Tbsp finely minced onion
- Pinch of salt
- Poppy seeds

I’ve seen these all over pinterest but wasn’t sure if they’d live up to the reviews – now I can’t wait to try them!
There are so adorable and look like a hit for sure!
These look incredible, and certainly fit the bill as perfect football food! I can’t wait to try them – and the bread too! I marked THAT recipe when it came up around the holidays. I’d better get crackin’! Happy birthday to your daughter!
These are so addicting! I recently got a comment on my post about them to chop up the ham and cheese before assembling the sandwiches. We tried it last time and it definitely made the assembly process much easier. I also let the sandwiches marinade overnight in the buttery sauce.
How adorable is that party? And our daughters are SO close in age, mine turns 2 in a little over 2 months. These do look super perfect for a party. LOVE! 🙂

That’s great, ’cause I’m fresh out of crack. All those PB & crack sandwiches, dontcha know. These look divine. Might have to make some for our Super Bowl shindig.
YUMMM!!!! I MAY have to make them for my superbowl shindig! 😉

Here in Virginia, we call them ham biscuits and they’re served for every special occasion. You can’t go to a holiday party or wedding and not have ham biscuits available! These seem like a step up from the usual deli ham, American cheese and mustard on potato rolls, though.

Homemade bread is ALWAYS worth it. I can definitely see how these are a surefire crowd pleaser!
These look melt-in-your-mouth wonderful! The roll looks delicious and the kids must have loved these!

So cute! These look totally perfect for the Super Bowl…fun! 🙂

Is it okay to bake the rolls in a 9 inch glass baking pan?
Sure!
Oh my goodness. These seriously look like the best sandwiches ever. The rolls look so perfect. Perfect and pillowy! And the ham! I would love to make these. I need to have a party! Even if I did 1/4 of the recipe, I’d eat them in one sitting and that’d be bad. I need people around to control my lack of self-control. 🙁

Yum! Those look amazing. I have always wanted to try sliders but never got around to it. I’m inspired now.
Holy crap, these look good!

It’s amusing to me to see these all over the place…blogs, pinterest, etc. since they’ve been at every potluck, church dinner, baby shower, etc. that I’ve ever been to here in the Carolinas. Glad everyone else if finally catching on…now to convince everyone to make proper BBQ and burgers should have chili, slaw, onions, and mustard. Thanks for sharing your adaptation of a classic.

I made these for our Superbowl party yesterday, awesome fits the bill! That sauce should be renamed ‘crack sauce’. Wow! Thanks for the great recipe.
Brandy
These look so yummy.I love ham n cheese anything!

I was wondering how 28 rolls were going to fit in one 9 inch baking pan, but after looking at your original recipe, I see you’ve doubled it for this one! 🙂

Keep coming back to these guys again and again. A family favorite!
