Why You’ll Love This Recipe!
I first served these ham and cheese sliders at a baby shower. It was a storybook themed shower and we needed something to represent the Green Eggs and Ham book. These sandwiches disappeared first and every one raved about them.
They are perfect to serve as an appetizer or as a main dish sandwich for an easy weeknight dinner idea. Ham and Cheese Sliders are also perfect for game day food.
They have great flavor thanks to the butter sauce you pour over the top. The melty cheese inside is my favorite part.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make hot ham and cheese sliders ahead of time?
Yes, ham and cheese sliders are a great make ahead meal. Make the sandwiches, but do not add the melted butter mixture, Parmesan cheese, or Poppy seeds. Store them covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add melted butter mixture, cheese and seeds right before baking. These sandwiches are best served warm.
Do I have to use poppy seeds?
If you aren’t a poppy seed fan or can’t have them for various reasons you can totally leave them off. You could also substitute them for sesame seeds. They are more for appearance than flavor.
