Cuban style sliders are the perfect finger food to wow guests at any occasion! Layers of deli ham, melted Swiss, and crisp dill pickles, are sandwiched in between toasted sweet Hawaiian rolls spread with a buttery mustard onion spread. It’s the perfect appetizer or lunch for a crowd.

Potlucks and parties seem to have two distinct seasons in my neck of the woods.

Summer barbecues and then football and/or holiday season.

Most of the times the food between summer parties and colder weather football/holiday season shindigs is totally different.

But these Cuban style sliders are a hit either time of year.

They’re perfect for just this sort of thing.

The sliders are simple, made and baked all in one dish, and grab and go with the finished product.

Plus they require assembly, not any actual cooking, making them a solid choice for kitchen beginners.

And the results?

Well, you can’t go wrong with Hawaiian rolls are piled high with thinly sliced deli ham, a layer of melted cheesy Swiss cheese, and crisp dill pickles and slathered with a buttery onion Dijon spread.

Then they get baked to golden brown perfection.

It’s like a little bit of kitchen magic in every bite.

Ingredients

To make these you’ll need:

Hawaiian rolls– A 24 count package
Ham– Thinly sliced
Swiss cheese– Sliced
Pickles– Dill pickle slices
Onion butter spread– Dried minced onion, melted butter, and dijon mustard

How to Make

These Cuban style sliders are so easy to make!

Using a serrated knife, cut the rolls in half and take the top sheet off.

Set the tops of the rolls aside and put the bottom of the rolls in a 9×13″ baking dish lightly sprayed with non stick cooking spray.

Layer the meat, cheese, and pickles evenly out over top.

Place the top of the rolls back on.

Then whisk together the mustard and melted butter in a small bowl.

When they are combined, stir in the onion.

Pour the mixture evenly out over the top of the sliders, spreading it out with the back of a spoon if needed.

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake it at 325 degrees for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, take the foil off and let it baking for another 10 minutes or until the buns are toasted and golden brown.

Let the sliders rest for 2-3 minutes.

Cut them, serve, and enjoy!

Storing

Sliders are best the day you make them as they tend to get soggy the longer they sit in the fridge.

However if you have any leftovers, store them in the fridge in an airtight container or right in the tightly wrapped baking dish for up to 3 days.

Reheat them in a hot oven until they are warm and the cheese has melted again.

Tips and Tricks

Want to take this from a Cuban style sandwich to a Cuban? Substitute pulled pork for the ham.
Don’t skip the resting time. It will help the sandwich fillings stay in the sandwich.
Make sure to leave the Hawaiian rolls in tact as a sheet when you slice them in half. Don’t pull the sheets apart until you serve.
