Using King’s Hawaiian rolls, a mixture of toppings, and the ham and cheese (of course), these sliders are quick to put together and quick to bake on the grill. Oh, and they are gone quick, too!

What do I Need for this Easy Ham and Cheese Sliders Recipe?
For this easy Hawaiian rolls sliders recipe, you’ll need Hawaiian rolls, ham, Swiss cheese, butter, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, dried onion flakes and parsley flakes. Oh, and a 9×11″ foil pan to put it all in.
How to Put the Hawaiian Rolls Sliders Together
Start out by getting your grill ready to be at 350 degrees over indirect heat. I like to use hickory wood, but feel free to use whichever smoking wood you like. Using a 12-pack of King’s Hawaiian rolls, take them out of the package and keep them all in piece (this is how they come). Take a bread knife and slice the rolls in half as if you’re making one big sandwich (because you kind of are). Keep the bread knife handy because you’ll need it again. Next, take a half pound of sliced ham and lay them on the bottom half of the sliced rolls. then pile on a half pound of Swiss cheese on top of that. Top the cheese with the top half of the rolls.
Now that the ham and cheese sliders are mostly assembled, it’s time to create the mixture to spread on top! In a small bowl, melt 1/4 Cup of butter (also known as 1/2 stick of butter or 4 Tbsp). In this same bowl, pour in 1 Tablespoon of dijon mustard, a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and a half teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Mix ingredients together in the bowl. Then take a food brush (or basting brush) and brush all over the tops of the rolls, including sides. To top off the sliders (for now), take a couple of teaspoons of dried onion flakes and sprinkle them on, making sure each roll top is covered. Carefully pick up the sliders, keeping them all in one piece, and place in foil pan.
How Long To Cook These Ham and Swiss Sliders
With the ham and Swiss sliders in the foil pan, place them on the grill at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. The tops will get a little brown and you will see the cheese melt down the sides. Once cooked, remove from the grill and let sit for a minute to allow the pan to cool. Take a spatula and scoop out the ham and Swiss sliders (still in one piece) onto a cutting board.
Melt an extra tablespoon of butter and use a food brush to dab the tops of the sliders. If you brush, then you will knock off the onion flakes baked into the tops of the rolls. Now that they are lightly buttered, sprinkle parsley flakes lightly on the tops of the Hawaiian rolls sliders.
Slicing the Hawaiian Ham Sandwiches
Remember the bread knife I said to keep handy? Now is the time to use it again. Slice the rolls into 12 individual sliders. These savory (and mildly sweet) Hawaiian ham sandwiches will be eye-popping and I won’t judge you if you want to take pictures. Just get those pics in quickly before your family and guests come for them!

Notes
1. This recipe can easily be made in the oven if a grill is not available.
