Whether you are feeding the family or a large party crowd, these Poppy Seed Ham and Cheese Sliders are the perfect recipe – everyone loves them!
Who loves quick & easy recipes? I would be lost without them! We like to make these Poppy Seed Ham and Cheese Sliders as a versatile on-the-go breakfast recipe or sometimes as a game-day snack that our whole family loves.
This post is brought to you in collaboration with Eckrich Deli Meat. All opinions are my own.
I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for ways I can put a delicious homemade meal on the table quickly.
Less time in the kitchen & more time with my family is always my priority.
To make sure I have everything I need, I like to stop at Walmart pick up all my ingredients, including Eckrich Deli Meats, which are now available at the Walmart deli counter!
Ham and Cheese Sliders Recipe
These sliders are so simple to make. When preparing them for the kids to have for breakfast, I like to make a full batch & then individually wrap them after they have cooled.
This makes it easy for the kids to grab them on the go as they need them.
This recipe makes 12 sliders, so that gives me almost a whole week of breakfasts for them!
Here are some commonly asked questions…
Why choose Eckrich deli meat?
Any way you slice it, Eckrich deli meat is my top choice at the deli counter.
Not only is it convenient because I can grab it while I’m at Walmart during my weekly shopping trip, but Eckrich is always gluten-free, full of flavor & made with unmatched quality.
The Eckrich Ham Off the Bone gets its premium flavor from its own natural juices, getting all the delicious flavor of bone-in meat.
Can ham and cheese sliders be made ahead of time?
Absolutely. Like I mentioned, we like to bake them all at once & then portion them out. You can enjoy them cold the next day or just give them a few seconds in the microwave to reheat them if you are short on time. So simple & still just as delicious the next day.
HOW DO YOU MAKE HAM AND CHEESE SLIDERS?
- Lightly coat a 9×13 inch dish with cooking spray.
- Cut the slider buns in half like a sandwich.
- Place the bottom layer into the prepared dish.
- Add half of the cheese.
- Follow with a layer of ham, then the remaining cheese.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
- Whisk in brown sugar, dijon, poppy seeds, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire, salt & pepper.
- Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls.
- Pour any remaining mixture to coat thoroughly.
- Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil & continue baking for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove & serve immediately.

These ham and cheese sliders look marvelous. I could really use one right now. Thank you for sharing at Wonderful Wednesday.
Alice V says
I bet this recipe is super delicious with the Hawaiian Sweet rolls. Looks like it probably has just the right balance of sweetness, saltiness, and mustard flavor. Why do I always choose the “food” posts to read? They make me hungry, even when I just ate! #happynowlinkup

These sliders look fantastic!! They don’t look too tough to make and they will feed quite a few hungry folks!!
Thanks for the great recipe! I can’t wait to try them!!
Angie says
Would you be able to transport these in a crock pot to keep warm? Also do you think I could substitute poppy seeds with chia??
Gina Kleinworth says
I don’t advise using a slow cooker to transport. I highly recommend using something like this Wonderbag https://amzn.to/2Dromxa that can keep the food hot for up to 12 hours. I also don’t think chia seeds are a good choice because not only will they bring a completely different flavor- they swell when moist, which won’t be great on a sandwich.
KatyK says
Gave these a try tonight, and they were so easy. They are so tasty we decided to make them for a casual bridal shower next month. Thanks for sharing!
Lin says
My mom used to make these for us – but she spread the poppy seed butter mixture on the top buns before baking. Delicious!
Rob says
Wow! I could have devoured the entire 12 sandwiches myself!! Absolutely delicious. My 12 y/o daughter and wife loved them!! Thanks for the post!!
Linda Summar says
These are great I have done these roast beef plus Turkey my family loved them. Going to make them for Christmas again.
Kyla says
Can you prepare these and wait to bake? Or does the bread get too soggy?
Gina Kleinworth says
I would prepare the sliders up to the point of pouring on the sauce. Just mix it & then keep refrigerated until you are ready to make them. Then pour it on right before you bake.
Carol says
These are delicious and take little time to prepare! I used small Hawaiian rolls so found that the amount of sauce is a little too much. I will half the sauce ingredients next time or double amount of sandwiches. But they still get five stars because of their taste and ease to make!!
Rick says
This would be great if I could figure out how much each ingredient to use !!!
Gina Kleinworth says
You scrolled past the printable recipe to get to the comments.
However I have heard that in rare instances, different browsers will keep the recipe card from populating correctly. You should find it at the bottom of the post but before the comments section.
Rick says
Sorry I was referring to the game sliders.
Gina Kleinworth says
Yes – that recipe for the sliders is just above the comments section where you are leaving your messages. Are you not seeing it there?
Linda Ellington says
These turned out great. Delicious and easy to make. I did not do the additional 10 minutes baking after the foil was removed and I didn’t see why it was recommended. I will definitely keep this recipe nearby. I have read other recipes for these sliders and don’t think they would have the flavor this recipe delivers.
