Ham and Swiss Biscuit Sliders are an easy, comforting bite made with fluffy biscuits, savory ham, and gooey melted Swiss cheese. They’re quick enough for a casual lunch, yet delicious enough to serve at brunches, family gatherings, game days, or parties.
Instead of using ordinary slider buns, this recipe tucks the filling inside tender biscuits. The biscuits bake up golden and buttery on the outside while the ham and cheese become warm and melty inside.
These little sandwiches are also a fantastic way to use leftover ham. A few simple ingredients can turn leftover holiday ham into a completely new meal everyone will enjoy.
Why Use Biscuits for Sliders?
Biscuits make an excellent base for sliders because they’re soft and buttery while still sturdy enough to hold the filling. Their rich flavor also means you don’t need many additional ingredients.
Swiss cheese pairs especially well with ham. It melts smoothly and adds a mild, nutty flavor that complements the salty, savory meat without overpowering it.
For the best results, avoid stuffing the biscuits too heavily. Too much filling can make them difficult to close and may prevent the centers from heating and baking evenly.
Ingredients
Biscuits
Refrigerated biscuit dough keeps this recipe simple and convenient. Choose biscuits that are large enough to split and fill without becoming difficult to handle.
Homemade biscuits can also be used as long as they’re firm enough to hold the ham and cheese.
Ham
Thinly sliced cooked ham is ideal because it layers easily inside the biscuits without creating too much bulk.
If you have leftover baked or holiday ham, simply slice it thinly or cut it into smaller pieces that fit inside each biscuit.
Swiss Cheese
Sliced Swiss cheese is convenient and melts beautifully. Cut or fold the slices as needed so they stay inside the biscuit instead of hanging over the edges.
Butter
Melted butter brushed over the biscuits helps them develop a beautiful golden-brown finish while adding extra richness.
For additional flavor, you can stir a little garlic powder or dried herbs into the melted butter.
How to Make Ham and Swiss Biscuit Sliders
1. Prepare the Biscuits
Start by preheating your oven according to the instructions on the biscuit package. Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough carefully. Depending on the type of biscuits you’re using, gently split them into layers or flatten them slightly so there’s room for the filling.
2. Add the Ham
Place a small layer of sliced ham in the center of each biscuit.
If your ham slices are large, fold them into smaller portions so they stay within the biscuit. Keeping the ham contained helps prevent the exposed edges from drying out during baking.
3. Add the Cheese
Place a piece of Swiss cheese over the ham.
Try to keep the cheese inside the biscuit's edges. A moderate amount is enough to create a deliciously melted center without causing excessive cheese to spill onto the pan.
4. Seal the Sliders
Place the remaining portion of biscuit dough over the ham and cheese.
Gently press the edges together where necessary, then arrange the filled biscuits in the prepared pan. Leave a little space between them so they have room to expand.
5. Brush and Bake
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
Bake until the biscuits are puffed, golden brown, and fully cooked through, with the cheese melted inside. Don't rely only on the color of the tops; check that the centers and sides are properly baked as well.
