Pin It Warm, gooey, and irresistibly savory, these baked ham and cheese party sliders are the ultimate crowd-pleaser for gatherings, game days, or potlucks. Soft rolls are layered with ham and Swiss cheese, topped with a buttery, tangy glaze, and baked until melty and golden.
I first made these sliders for a family holiday party, and watching everyone reach for seconds made them an instant favorite in our home.

Instructions
- Prepare oven and pan:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 23x33 cm (9x13-inch) baking dish or line with parchment paper.
- Prepare buns:
- Slice slider buns in half horizontally, keeping tops and bottoms attached. Place bottom halves in prepared dish.
- Layer ham and cheese:
- Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each bun bottom. Place bun tops over cheese.
- Make glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until combined.
- Glaze and rest:
- Pour glaze evenly over assembled sliders, using spatula or brush to spread so all tops are coated. Let sit 5 minutes to absorb.
