How To Make Ham and Cheese Sliders

STEP 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and coat a large baking dish (9×13 or a similar size) with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with the roll bottoms. Top with the ham and the provolone cheese slices.

Spread a generous amount cream cheese spread onto the insides of the sweet roll tops and place them in a layer on top of the cheese.

STEP 3

Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350 for 25 minutes, or until warmed through and cheese is melted. Cut at the seams with a knife and serve warm! Place in an air-tight container before placing leftovers in the fridge.

Recipe Notes

  • Replace the layers of ham with thin sliced turkey or roast beef instead for a different flavor.
  • Replace yellow mustard with honey mustard or dijon mustard for an extra touch of flavor.
  • Although I loooooove using provolone in this recipe because it's so perfectly ooey-gooey, feel free to swap it out for cheddar, mozzarella or even swiss cheese.
  • Feel free to swap out the butter in the topping with olive oil.
  • Using Hawaiian rolls for these sandwiches produces such a delicious end product, but regular dinner rolls will work fine, too.
  • These are super easy to make ahead of time. Assemble the sandwiches as directed. Mix up the topping but store it separately in the fridge. Brush it over the tops of the sandwiches just before baking.
  • This is a good recipe to freeze. Place them in a resealable bag and wrap in foil. Freeze for up to 4 months!
