How to Make Ham Cheese Biscuit Sliders

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Biscuits

Separate the refrigerated biscuits.

Carefully flatten each biscuit into a small circle.

If using large biscuits, you can gently stretch them with your fingers.

3. Add the Filling

Spread a tiny amount of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard inside each biscuit if desired.

Add a folded slice of ham and a piece of cheddar or Swiss cheese.

Fold the biscuit dough around the filling and pinch the seams closed.

Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

4. Make the Butter Topping

In a small bowl, combine:

  • Melted butter
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Dijon mustard
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Poppy seeds
  • Parsley
  • Honey, if using

Mix well.

5. Brush the Sliders

Brush the tops of the biscuit sliders generously with the butter mixture.

Reserve a small amount for after baking if desired.

6. Bake

Bake for 17 to 22 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.

The cheese should be melted and the centers fully cooked.

7. Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven.

Brush with a little additional melted butter.

Let rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Biscuit Sliders

  • Do not overfill the biscuits or the cheese may leak out.
  • Pinch the seams firmly before baking.
  • Use thinly sliced ham so the sliders are easier to close.
  • Cheddar gives a bold flavor, while Swiss gives a classic ham-and-cheese taste.
  • Bake until the biscuit centers are fully cooked.
  • Serve immediately for the best melted-cheese texture.

Make-Ahead Instructions

Prepare the sliders and arrange them in the baking dish.

Storage

Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use crescent roll dough?

Yes. Crescent dough works very well and creates a softer, slightly flakier slider.

What cheese works best?

Cheddar, Swiss, provolone, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or Colby Jack are all good choices.

Can I use leftover ham?

Absolutely. Thinly sliced leftover baked ham works perfectly.

Can I make these without mustard?

Yes. Simply leave it out.

Why did the cheese leak out?

The sliders may have been overfilled or the dough seams may not have been sealed completely.

Can I make these for breakfast?

Yes. Add scrambled eggs and serve them as breakfast sliders.

Can I bake them in a muffin pan?

Yes. Place each stuffed biscuit in a greased muffin cup and bake until golden.

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?

Definitely. Homemade biscuit dough works beautifully.

Are these good for parties?

Yes. They are easy to hold, easy to make in batches, and stay tasty even after cooling slightly.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes. Use two baking dishes or a large sheet pan so the sliders have enough room to bake evenly.

Pro Tips

  • Fold the ham instead of stacking it thickly.
  • Cut cheese slices into smaller squares before filling.
  • Keep the dough cold until ready to assemble.
  • Place the sealed side underneath each slider.
  • Add a little Parmesan to the butter topping for extra flavor.
  • Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds before baking.
  • Brush with butter immediately after baking for a glossy finish.
  • Serve with honey mustard or ranch for dipping.
  • Let them cool slightly before serving because the cheese will be very hot.
  • Prepare a double batch for parties because they tend to disappear quickly.
