Cuban sliders are loaded with ham, swiss cheese, and dill pickles, topped with a dijon mustard onion spread! Super easy to make and definitely a crowd pleaser!! An easy to make sliders recipe!
These sliders are always a huge hit! They are easy to make. They’re perfect for potlucks, get togethers, game day spreads, or a weeknight family dinner. They reheat like a dream, which makes them perfect to give to a family in need. Plus they make a lovely cold snack if you don’t even feel like reheating them.
Loaded with ham, swiss cheese, dill pickle. Topped with a dijon, onion, butter spread. Then toasted until lightly golden and the cheese is melted.
How to make this Cuban Sliders Recipe:
- Slice the slider buns in half. No need to separate the rolls, the Hawaiian rolls come in a large sheet, with all the buns connected. Simply slice the entire sheet of rolls in half, placing the bottom of the rolls into a greased baking pan or dish.
- Layer the sliced ham, cheese, and pickles. Then place the tops of the slider buns on top.
- Once you have the sliders assembled, add a few ingredients (in the recipe below) to make the dijon spread and pour it over the top.
- Cover and bake.
Ingredients Needed for Cuban Sliders:
- Hawaiian Rolls: the sweetness of the bread adds a little extra to these sliders.
- Sliced Ham: sliced deli ham is perfect for these. Read more about the Cuban Pork down below.
- Swiss cheese: deli sliced Swiss cheese.
- Dill pickles: sliced dill pickles chips, or slice up a whole dill pickle.
- Mustard: Add some extra to the sliders if desired.
- Butter: unsalted butter is needed for making the mustard sauce to drizzle on top of the sliders before baking.
- Minced Onion: use finely diced fresh onion or use dehydrated minced onion that is typically found in the spice aisles at most markets.
What about the Cuban Pork?
This question comes up often! We can all agree, Cuban pork is amazing, but it takes a day to make since it should be cooked slowly. IF you have some cuban pork on hand, some leftovers, and you want to make these sliders definitely use the pork! However, this recipe is designed to be a quick, 30 minute recipe to replicate the flavors of a cuban sandwich.
You will love how simple these are to make!

I love the idea of making them in the pan! These look mouthwatering!! Pinned!
Thanks so much Jaren, these are super easy to make! Thanks for the pin 🙂
These look incredible — a must try for sure!
Thank you so much Sheila!
Making this today for a work event and some extras for my husband to warm in the oven. Skipping the onions and just using onion powder as I do not like onions – at least that way there is still onion flavor. Also putting poppy seeds on top.
Yay! And I totally understand about the onions! I’m the same way, love the onion flavor, not a fan of the actual onion! If I mince it small enough though I can get away with it 🙂 Hope they turned out good for you!
Stopping by from the Marvelous Mondays party. What a simple, but totally delicious looking sandwich. I’ve pinned to try soon!! PS – I love cold pizza for breakfast! ;o)
Hi Debi! I’m so glad I’m not alone with the cold pizza breakfast! Thanks so much for stopping by 🙂 I hope you had a great holiday weekend!
Cold pizza and hot coffee in the morning! The BEST!
YES!!!
MMMM…..Stopping by from Show Stopper Saturday.
I just had my first cuban sandwich recently. It was so good. That I can’t wait to have another. These look so fun!
Pinning!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks so much Melanie! These are such an easy way to get that Cuban flavor! Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend. Thanks for stopping by!
True Cuban sandwishes also have pulled pork on them…..
Bonnie you’re absolutely right! And it’s delicious isn’t it?! That idea is what inspired this recipe 🙂 with this recipe we are able to experience the flavors in a quick and easy fashion without having to go to an authentic Cuban restaurant.
I just assembled a pan of these for my twin boys’ 5th birthday party tomorrow, and I’m using this recipe and adding a layer of chopped pork (heat and serve from the grocery store meat department). Looks amazing!
I made these on Super Bowl Sunday and they were delicious! I also added a layer of pork! Will make again for sure!They remind me of a trip to Venice Beach, CA and a great Cuban Restaurant we went to!?
Omg Bonnie there’s nothing traditional about these. Who cares? Just a great party food. Lighten up. They are delicious while watching a football game.
I was just going to comment the same thing! These are just ham and cheese sliders, otherwise. I will give it the pork twist, though.
These look so good! We have to follow a gluten free diet so it has been hard to find bread that makes good sliders, I recently discovered quartered waffles make the BEST slider buns! I will have to give this a try!
Waffles as slider buns sound fantastic!!! I can’t wait to give that a try 🙂 Thanks so much Annie!
I LOVE Cuban Sandwiches …. and I LOVE the idea of making them into sliders!!
Thanks so much Jamie! Isn’t Cuban food delicious!? These are an easy way to enjoy it 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!
Share what kind of waffles you are speaking of 🙂 I have a gluten allergy as well. Are they store bought or made at home?
After being in Miami and hardly having any authentic food, I want these right now! Pinned!
Thanks Dorothy! Hope you had a blast at BlogHer in Miami!
I am so into these sliders, Serene!! I have a break from the hospital and had to check these out. Amazing!
At the hospital?!? Are you guys having your baby?! Thanks for taking time to stop by and comment 🙂 Hope all goes well!
