Gooey gruyere cheese, sliced deli ham, and a chive honey mustard spruce up classic ham and cheese croissant sliders into a winning appetizer that will disappear within minutes every time!
Your brunch game just got a pretty major new addition! While I wouldn’t usually think of sliders as brunch material, these croissant sliders fit the bill perfectly.
They’re coming stuffed with no shortage of ham, gruyere, and honey mustard and 100% something I would make a meal out of alongside a mimosa.
And yes, they are easy as HECK to pull off and you won’t need more than a few minutes prep time! I even include instructions to prep the whole pan in advance so you can pop them in the oven whenever ya fancy.
These Sliders Feature…
- Flaky mini croissants
- Melted gruyere cheese and tender ham slices
- An herbed honey mustard

(scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe)
Ingredients You Will Need
- Mini croissants
- Dijon mustard
- Whole grain mustard
- Honey
- Mayonnaise
- Chives
- Deli ham
- Gruyere cheese
- Unsalted butter
- Poppy seeds
- Garlic powder
Tips for Perfect Croissant Sliders
- Hand-shred gruyere – this will melt much better in the sliders than pre-shredded cheese.
- Make homemade honey mustard – a simple mixture of two kinds of mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and chives adds tons of flavor to the sliders.
- Bake sliders covered for 15 minutes – covering the sliders will prevent them from overbrowning. Remove the foil after 15 minutes and bake an additional 5-10 minutes to crisp up the exterior.
Recipe Variations
Try these ideas for a different twist on these sliders.
- Use another meat – deli chicken, turkey, or roast beef will all work in place of the ham.
- Try another cheese – try white cheddar, gouda, or mozzarella.
- Swap in another fresh herb – try rosemary, parsley, or dill in place of the chives.
Make Ahead Instructions
These sliders can be assembled through Step 3, covered with foil, and refrigerated up to 2 days before baking. Allow to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking according to recipe instructions.
If you want an app that will ALWAYS disappear with people begging for more, these sliders are your safest bet! They’re so simple but the creamy honey mustard combined with the tender ham slices and all that melty gruyere are a trio that just works every time.
