Ingredients
- 1 pound slider rolls
- 1/2 pound ham, sliced
- 1/2 pound roast pork, sliced
- 1/4 pound Swiss cheese, sliced
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup dill pickles, sliced
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Pull Apart Cuban Sliders
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your sliders will cook evenly and be perfectly warm when served.
Step 2: Prepare the Slider Rolls
Cut the slider rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom half in a baking dish. This will hold all those delicious fillings snugly.
Step 3: Layer the Ingredients
Layer the sliced ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, yellow mustard, and dill pickles on top of the bottom half of the rolls. Don’t be shy; stack it up!
Step 4: Add the Top Half
Carefully place the top half of the rolls on the fillings. This keeps everything nice and cozy while it bakes.
Step 5: Mix the Butter Mixture
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This adds incredible flavor!
Step 6: Brush the Topping
Brush the butter mixture generously over the top of the rolls. This will create a beautifully golden crust as they bake.
Step 7: Bake Covered
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes. This helps the sliders steam and get warm throughout.
Step 8: Bake Until Golden
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy. You want that luscious, warm cheese to ooze out when you pull them apart!
Step 9: Serve Warm
Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm. Your friends and family won’t be able to resist them!
Tips & Variations
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these sliders fresh out of the oven for the best flavor. Pair them with a side of sweet potato fries or a simple salad to balance the richness.
- Optional Swaps: If you’re looking for a lighter version, consider using turkey instead of ham or pork. For a vegetarian twist, try roasted vegetables and a vegan cheese alternative.
- Make-ahead Tip: You can assemble everything in advance and store it in the fridge. Just pop it in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy.
- Spice it Up: For a little kick, you could add jalapeños or a spicy mustard!
Delicious Variations
- Pulled Pork Sliders: Replace ham and roast pork with just pulled pork and your favorite barbecue sauce for a sweet, smoky option.
- Cheesy Garlic Bread Sliders: Use garlic bread rolls, add mozzarella, and layer with your choice of toppings for a cheesy delight.
- Buffalo Chicken Sliders: Swap out the meats for shredded chicken tossed in buffalo sauce, and add blue cheese for a spicy twist.
- Italian Meatball Sliders: Use meatballs simmered in marinara sauce topped with mozzarella for a classic Italian flavor.
Serving Suggestions for Pull Apart Cuban Sliders
These Pull Apart Cuban Sliders are best served warm, straight from the oven. For a little extra flair, place them on a pretty serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs or extra pickles on the side.
They make a magnificent appetizer for game day or serve them for a fun lunch! Pair them with a crisp, refreshing drink like iced tea or a light beer.
They also complement a serving of crispy potato chips or a simple green salad beautifully.

To reheat, simply place them back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. They’ll still taste amazing!
