How to Make the BEST Ham and Swiss Rolls Recipe

Prep the Dinner Rolls – Thaw the rolls per the package directions, then slice through the middle leaving the top and bottom piece intact.

Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

Dinner Rolls – You can use Hawaiian sweet rolls, slider buns, parker house rolls or a different brand of rolls to make these sliders.
Ham – You can use any fully cooked ham in these rolls. Deli ham or leftover ham works beautifully for a round 2 meal.
Cheese – Sliced Swiss cheese is readily available in the deli and dairy section of the grocery store. You could also adapt these ham and swiss sliders using gruyere cheese, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese or sharp cheddar cheese.
Poppy Seeds – Poppy seeds are found on the baking aisle with the other spices and seasonings and an important ingredient for these sliders. You could use sesame seeds.
Mustard – You could use Dijon mustard or spicy brown mustard in place of honey mustard.
Both the cheese and ham should overlap when stuffing the rolls. The cheese will melt and form the edible glue for holding everything together.
Pan Options – I bake these Swiss sliders on a sheet pan but you could also use a 13×9 inch baking dish.
Serving – To serve these ham rolls, take a sharp knife and slice along the perforations of the rolls. Once the baked rolls are cut apart, arrange them on a platter or a cake pedestal for serving.

Storage and Leftovers

Make-Ahead Tip – You can fully assemble these slider rolls one day in advance then cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and chill in the refrigerator until baking. When assembling in advance, brush with the butter mixture glaze just before baking.
Leftovers – You can store baked Ham and Swiss Poppy Seed Rolls chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating – Reheat in single servings in the microwave or in a 350°F air fryer just until heated through.
Freezer – You can freeze leftover sliders for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat just before serving.
