Make these ham and swiss sliders for two as an easy weeknight dinner or weekend lunch. Fresh ingredients from the deli and slider buns are the perfect pair!
Many years ago, I started to think outside the box, and make dinners that are more casual. I recently made tacos, something I rarely make, and they were delicious! Last week, I made ham and Swiss sliders, and they turned out so yummy, that I wanted to share them with all of you.
The thing about slider recipes is that they always make at least a dozen sandwiches. Many of the recipes call for enough ingredients to make two dozen. So I used several different slider recipes I found online, and adapted them to make just 6 sandwiches. That’s what you will find in the recipe card below. If you do want to use this recipe to make a dozen sliders, it can easily be doubled.
How To Make
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place 6 bun bottoms in a glass baking dish.
- Spread mayonnaise on the bun bottoms.
- Add 4 slices of ham, followed by 4 slices of swiss cheese.
- Top with the other 4 slices of ham.
- Spread the bun tops with the honey mustard dressing.
- Place the tops on the layers in the baking dish.
- Mix the melted butter, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds together in a small bowl.
- Spread the butter mixture on the sandwiches with a pastry brush.
- Cover the baking dish with foil.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove foil. Bake for 5 minutes more.
- Let cool for 2 minutes. Slice the buns apart with a sharp knife.
- Serve warm.

Tips for Amazing Ham and Swiss Sliders
- Like pretty much any recipe under the sun, this ham and swiss sliders recipe can be adapted to your own taste. Use any kind of deli meat, and any kind of cheese.
- Likewise, the Pepperidge Farm slider buns can be swapped out for King’s Hawaiian rolls, regular slider buns, or dinner rolls.
- You may be tempted to leave some of the butter mixture in the bowl, and not use it all. Try to resist the urge! It really adds such a good taste, and it’s absorbed into the sliders, so there shouldn’t be any butter on the bottom of your baking dish when done.
- Don’t worry about fitting the ham and cheese perfectly on the buns. Layer the slices any way they fit…it all tastes delicious when it’s melted together.
- The poppy seeds add a nice touch, but if you don’t like them, just leave them out. It won’t change the taste of the sliders at all. Finely chopped parsley is a good substitute for the poppy seeds.
- If there are just two of you, you may have a slider or two leftover. They aren’t wonderful reheated the next day, but they are very good cold, straight from the refrigerator. If you do want to reheat any leftover sliders, the oven works better than the microwave.

I need to count how many of your recipes I’ve printed off and made over the years. Thank you so much for your wonderful, practical and yummy tips for living in todays’ world as I age.
We loved this sandwich! I lined the baking dish with an oversized piece of foil, so I could wrap and take it with us to our weekly picnic in the park. I wrapped it with newspapers to keep it warm and it was delicious!
These sandwiches have been a favorite in our house but I think your addition of honey mustard would add a nice sweetness….can’t wait to try it!
I made these tonight for supper. Absolutely delicious! My family loved them. This is the fourth recipe from your blog that I have tried and they’ve all been winners! Thank you so much!
Yay! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know. I appreciate it!
It’s so nice to see recipes for two since there is just hubby and me at home now. I like variety and these sliders sound delicious. Never thought of slides for dinner but you’ve put the bug in my ear and I’m ready to give it a go. Thank you for all the good tips.
I’ve had these sliders before. They are fabulous… and so easy to make!
Great Idea! I have seen these for parties but never thought to adapt the recipe to make just for the 2 of us. Thank You!
Before you bake these, you can wrap them individually in foil and freeze them, and then pull them from your freezer and bake them for 30 minutes at 350 degrees for a hot and quick lunch or supper anytime. We call them Freezer Sandwiches.
