Easy party prep! These Turkey & Ham Hawaiian sliders are made with Gouda and Swiss cheeses and they are out of this world!
We all have those recipes in our arsenals that we turn to any time we are entertaining. Those recipes that are impossible to mess up, easy to prepare ahead of time, and are always a crowd favorite. This, my friends, is one of those tried-and-true recipes. (It joins my Parmesan Artichoke Dip, Homemade Pimento Cheese, and Buffalo Chicken Dip as reader favorites!)
These Ham and Turkey Hawaiian Roll Sliders are seriously one of the most fail-proof party foods out there. They are easy to customize with your favorite meats and cheeses, and the best part is that you can get all of the prep done ahead of time, so they are no-stress!
The version of these sliders I made last weekend for a get-together were half and half. I combined the classic Swiss cheese with ham on one side of my platter, while the other side was smoked gouda with turkey.
Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is! These yummy sliders lasted all of thirty minutes once I brought them out for serving. As I said, they are a huge hit!
Ingredients
- ham, turkey, and/or meat of your choice
- swiss and gouda cheeses
- Hawaiian rolls
- butter
- dijon mustard
- Worcestershire sauce
- onion powder
Step by step
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and layer on the meats and cheeses. Replace the top of the rolls.
- Prepare the butter mixture and pour over the sliders.
- Allow the sliders to sit in the refrigerator for at least three hours before being baked, but theyare even better if left overnight and cooked the second day after marinating. **I recommend letting all those flavors soak into the bread. It makes a world of difference over baking immediately.
- Bake for 25 minutes and serve.
Come on! I mean look at that delicious carved meat and cheese! I know you're wishing you could reach into your computer or phone right now and just take a bite!
Tips for best results
- I prefer my Hawaiian sliders without the poppy seeds included in many recipes. If you would like poppy seeds in the butter mixture simply add in one teaspoon of poppy seeds before pouring over the rolls.
- These Hawaiian Sliders must be prepped in advance for the best results. If you are entertaining, it is so easy to prep them the day before and then pop in the oven just before guests start arriving.
- Double up on my meat and cheese layers so they are super thick and hearty, and so the sliders don't collapse once the butter mixture is poured over and they are baked. Nobody wants a soggy slider!
- These Hawaiian Roll Sliders is that they taste just as delicious cold as they do fresh out of the oven, so there's no worrying about them not tasting good cold at your party or leftovers.

The butter is a little too much. Could of done with half of what is called for. One and half sticks, is quite a bit for 18 sliders.
They are delicious though!
