Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
8 oz cream cheese 1 cup sour cream ½ cup green onions, chopped 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper ½ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon garlic powder Dash of hot sauce 1 lb thick-sliced ham, chopped 1 dozen pull-apart slider rolls 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
Step 1 – Preheat the Oven I preheat the oven to 350°F to get everything ready for baking.
Step 2 – Make the Filling In a medium bowl, I stir together cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Then I mix in the green onions, cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and hot sauce.
Step 3 – Assemble the Sliders Keeping the rolls connected, I slice them in half horizontally and place the bottom half in a 9×13-inch baking dish. I spread half of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom rolls, then layer on the chopped ham. After that, I spread the rest of the cheese mixture over the ham (or on the underside of the top rolls) and place the top layer of rolls back on.
Step 4 – Add Butter and Bake I brush the tops with melted butter, then cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. After that, I remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Step 5 – Serve and Enjoy Once out of the oven, I let them cool just a bit, then pull them apart and serve them warm.

Variations
Spicy Kick I add sliced jalapeños or use pepper jack cheese for extra heat.
Breakfast Style I swap the ham for cooked breakfast sausage and add scrambled eggs for a morning version.
Sweet and Savory I drizzle a little honey mustard on the ham before adding the top rolls for a tangy-sweet twist.
Bacon Lover’s Twist Crispy bacon bits added to the filling make these even more indulgent.
Storage/Reheating
To Store I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To Reheat To keep them soft, I reheat the sliders covered in foil in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes. Microwaving works in a pinch, but the oven keeps the texture better.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, I assemble them completely and refrigerate covered until ready to bake. I just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they’re cold.
What kind of ham should I use?
I usually go for thick-sliced deli ham or leftover holiday ham—something hearty enough to hold up against the cheese.
Can I freeze these sliders?
Yes, I wrap them tightly in foil and freeze before baking. When ready to serve, I bake them straight from frozen, adding about 10 extra minutes.
What’s the best cheese to use?
Sharp cheddar gives the best flavor, but I’ve also tried blends like cheddar-jack or colby—any good melting cheese works.
Can I use different rolls?
Definitely. Hawaiian rolls are a favorite for their slight sweetness, but I’ve also used brioche slider buns and they’re just as delicious.
