    Let's be honest for a moment. I adore these sliders. I really do, of course as a foodie, I do just love food.

    Ham and Cheese is a favorite combination for sure but what makes these sliders over the top is the dressing brushed on top of the roll or croissant.

    It's DELICIOUS . Sweet and savory all in one bite. You can't go wrong with these as an Appetizer Recipe or even Main Course.

    And did I mention that even my Picky Eater likes these too? Well, he does. Family approved is the BEST.

    Rolls ~ Hawaiian Roll or Butter Croissant?

    This is truly a personal preference. You will find all over Pinterest many variations of this recipe made with Hawaiian Rolls and trust me, it's delicious!

    But just give a Buttery Croissant a try and I guarantee your tastebuds will thank you too. The light and flaky croissant just adds new texture to this all ready amazing Ham and Cheese Sandwich. Oh it's good!

    Baked Ham and Cheese Sliders are perfect for watching the big game, as an appetizer or even a meal.

    Is there really a bad time for these perfect little sandwiches? I think not!

    Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwiches can be served cold as leftovers. Although I do prefer to heat them up a little bit.

    As you can see by the photos, I love using croissants.

    But rest assured that I make these using Hawaiian Rolls too. With my older boys, the larger croissants are super nice and they don't need to eat as many of these Baked Ham and Cheese Sliders, ya know?

      These are SO good!! My friend Ian, almost 12, gave them a 10 out of 10. He doesn't usually give a 10 for food. I used the Hawaiian rolls. I had these years ago and really liked them, but had never had them.

      I believe the brown stuff the person above is referring to is Worcestershire sauce, though it could be brown sugar mixed in with the butter.

      They turned out great! The only complaint I have is in your photos it shows some brown liquid and some white stuff. Also I couldn't find any measurements in the directions. I winged it and I guessed that the other ingredients were soy sauce and garlic powder?

        Hi Jamie, All the ingredients are listed in the Recipe card at the bottom of the post. I'm not sure what you are referring to specifically but it might be Worcestershire Sauce, and dried minced onions. Hope this helps!
