Nine soft white buns filled with layers of pink ham, yellow melted cheese with some white scrambled eggs mixed in, all slightly oozing out between the buns, arranged closely together on a black tray with a black-handled spatula lifting one sandwich.

Ingredients

½ pound Hatfield Thick-Cut Hardwood Smoked Bacon
1 3-pound Hatfield Classic Boneless Ham
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 10-ounce block yellow cheddar cheese, shredded (approximately 3 cups)
1 8-ounce container sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup scallions, minced small (tops and bottoms, about 3-4 scallions)
Dash of your favorite hot sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1½ dozen soft pull-apart slider rolls
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Lay the bacon strips on a parchment-lined sheet tray and bake until crisp, about 15–20 minutes. Drain on paper towels, let cool, then chop into small pieces. Keep the oven on.
Step 3: Using a sharp knife, slice the entire ham into thin slices and set aside.
Step 4: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced scallions, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Step 5: Add the chopped cooked bacon to the mixture and stir until well combined.
Step 6: Slice the slider rolls in half. Spread the cheese and bacon mixture evenly on both the tops and bottoms of all 18 rolls.
Step 7: Distribute the ham slices among the bottom halves, folding larger slices as needed to fit the roll size, then place the tops on each slider.
Step 8: Arrange the sliders tightly together in a 9×13-inch baking dish (you may use a larger pan depending on the roll size).
Step 9: Brush the melted butter over the tops of the sliders, then cover the pan with parchment paper and aluminum foil.
Step 10: Bake covered for 10 minutes, then remove the cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Step 11: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Tips & Variations

For extra smoky flavor, use a smoked cheddar cheese or add a pinch of smoked paprika to the cheese mixture.
Substitute the classic ham with a honey-glazed ham for a sweeter slider.
If you like it spicier, increase the hot sauce or add thinly sliced jalapeños to the filling.
Use potato rolls or Hawaiian rolls for a different texture and flavor profile.
Make the sliders a day ahead and refrigerate before baking to save time on serving day.

Storage

Store leftover baked sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 325 degrees F oven for about 10–15 minutes until heated through. The sliders are best enjoyed fresh but keep well for a quick meal later.

How to Serve

The image shows twelve baked sandwiches arranged in a black rectangular pan. Each sandwich has a soft, golden-brown top bun with a smooth texture and appears slightly shiny. Below the bun, there are layers of thinly sliced pink ham and melted creamy yellow cheese visible around the edges. The sandwiches are placed closely together in three rows of four. In the background, there is a clear bowl filled with a white creamy mixture with some small brown bits, a stack of white plates, pink slices of ham on a white plate, and a packaged ham. The setup rests on a white marbled textured surface with a white cloth decorated with small green, red, and brown tree patterns nearby. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders a day in advance. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to bake. When you’re ready to serve, bake as directed.

What can I use if I don’t have scallions?

If scallions aren’t available, finely chopped green onions or mild white onions work well as a substitute. You can also use chives for a milder flavor.
