These Cuban sliders are potato buns piled high with meat, cheese and pickles, then brushed with garlic butter and baked to golden brown perfection. The perfect slider sandwich for parties, game day or as an easy dinner option.
Cuban sandwiches are popular for good reason – who doesn’t love melted cheese and meat on crusty bread? These baked Cuban sandwich sliders are even better than the original, and they also happen to be super easy to make!
One of my very favorite things to serve when I’m entertaining is slider sandwiches. They’re satisfying, easy to make, and they feed a crowd. These Cuban sliders are the ultimate slider sandwich in my opinion, everyone seems to love the ham and cheese combination. When you add light and fluffy potato rolls and a drizzle of garlic butter to the mix, you’ve got sandwich perfection! Looking for more great party snacks or game day ideas?

How to make cuban sliders
This recipe starts with Martin’s 12 Sliced Potato Rolls. They’re super fluffy, taste delicious and come conveniently pre-sliced to make sandwich making even easier. These rolls are perfect piled high with meats and cheese, or topped with a little peanut butter and jelly. We also like to toast them up with a little garlic butter for easy garlic bread, and they make a fabulous french toast!
The potato rolls get arranged on a sheet pan and are topped with layers of swiss cheese, ham and pickles.
After you’ve piled the rolls high with the sandwich fillings. the top of the rolls are added on and brushed with garlic butter.
The final step is to bake your Cuban sliders to golden brown perfection! I cover the sandwiches during the first 10 minutes so that they don’t get overly browned, then remove the foil for the end of the baking time so that the rolls can crisp up nicely. Add a little parsley and you’re ready to eat!
Mustard is a traditional component of Cuban sandwiches, and in this case I serve it on the side so that people can add as much or as little as they like.
Everyone always goes crazy over these sliders – they’re the first thing to go at any gathering! I especially love to serve them on game day, it’s the perfect handheld hearty snack.

Oh wow. These sliders sound so good! Its true, I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t love ham and cheese! Thanks for this recipe idea. Using garlic butter made these sliders stand out among other slider recipes!
Oh these look so good! I’m vegetarian so I might try them out without the ham. I love the idea of brushing the bread with garlic butter.
What a great game day recipe. I would love to sink into some of these.

Sliders are such a fun party food. These Cuban sliders look like a fun twist on a classic sandwich. I like that you served the mustard on the side so people can add as little or as much as they like.
Sliders are such great meals. You can never have just one!
Oh my word! My husband would absolutely love these! I am going to have to make a batch. Totally his kind of food!
These Cuban sliders would be a hit at our game day gathering. They look so good and the saltiness of the ham, bitterness of the Swiss cheese and the crunch of the pickle are a YUMMY combination.
This looks so good! I really could just devour them off the screen. I’d probably eat like 3 of them in one sitting.
These would be great for Superbowl day. We aren’t hosting a party ,but I never like showing up empty-handed.
Oh now these sound like they would be right up my street, I have to admit I’ve not tried a cuban slider before, but hey now I can DIY one and give it a try!
The Cuban was my husband’s favorite find when we vacationed in Florida one year. He makes them at home on a regular basis, but these sliders will put stars in his eyes! Thank you!
I think sliders are all great in general. However, these have all the perfect flavors! What a tasty item for game day!
If I made these and I would need them all myself. That would be very real possibility. So when I make these I’m going to make sure I’m going to a party.
I love Martin’s bread and rolls! They are my favorite, the flavor of the potato is so much better than the rest out there. These sound tasty!
This would make such a fabulous meal! I think everyone in my family would enjoy these. It’s been a while since I’ve had sliders.
