These easy Hawaiian roll sliders are one of my favorite recipes because the combination of soft sweet rolls with hot ham and Swiss cheese is absolutely to die for. It's the perfect party food for a hungry crowd that doubles as a great family meal that can be made as large or as small as you need. They will be your new go to party dish!
Why this recipe works
This recipe is fool proof: It can easily be made with both gluten filled and Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free Hawaiian rolls. The trick to baked-to-perfection sliders is to cook them in the oven uncovered for a bit after cooking them covered. Allowing the steam to escape while cooking instead of build up in the pan. This will keep your sliders from getting soggy. With this combo on/off baking technique you will get perfect sliders every time.
Easily adjustable: These can be made dairy-free with a butter alternative and dairy free cheese. We love doing them this way so mama can have them too. And you only need a few household ingredients to make these individual sliders.
Great for a crowd: This recipe can be doubled or tripled for a crowd making them great for the holidays (yes, use leftover Thanksgiving ham to make these) and everyone will love the flavor! You can even go smaller like I have with just a small batch of gluten free sliders.
Grab these key ingredients
Dijon Mustard
I love the salty tang that dijon mustard adds to these sandwiches but if you don't have dijon mustard, you can use yellow mustard.
Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
Canyon Bakehouse Hawaiian sweet rolls are my favorite gluten-free sweet rolls. The texture is perfect and they bake so well. Any Hawaiian rolls will work though.
Deli Ham
I recommended getting fairly thick cut, juicy ham because it tastes better in these sandwiches. You can also use classic ham, honey ham, Hawaiian ham, or even leftover thanksgiving ham in this recipe.
Swiss Cheese
What would this cheese sliders recipe be without quality Swiss cheese? I prefer precut cheese slices from Boars Head because they save time but you can also use a block of cheese.
Butter
Lots and lots of butter... Just kidding, but it is a fair amount and totally worth it!

- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce (we use gluten-free)
- 6-12 Hawaiian sweet rolls sliced in half horizontally (We use gluten-free Canyon Bakehouse brand so there is 6 larger ones in a package but the 12 pack bags of non-gluten-free work great in this recipe as well. It's roughly 10-12 ounces.)

- 9 slices Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x9 baking pan or loaf pan if using smaller gluten-free Hawaiian slider rolls

- Place the bottoms of the rolls in the sprayed pan and brush with half the melted butter mixture
- Add the ham and Swiss then add the tops of the slider rolls back on
- Brush with the remaining butter mixture and cover with tinfoil
- Bake at 350 for 12 minutes then remove foil and bake another 10 minutes
