Hey friends! School has started, football season is underway, and it’s a time of new routines. The relaxed pace of summer living has passed us by once again and the schedules are full. This is a season where I need easy meals on the table fast! But, still delicious and nourishing. These Baked Ham and Cheese Soft Pretzel Sliders are a perfect fit.
Baked Ham and Cheese Soft Pretzel Sliders
So how are you friends? I know you haven’t seen as much of me lately. I’ve been sipping Strawberry Mojitos by the pool, and camping, and traveling a bit. But now that we are back in the swing of things–at least trying to be, you will see once again more frequent recipes.
Baked Ham and Cheese Soft Pretzel Sliders is seriously one of the easiest meals we make. Sometimes I’ll whip this up on a Saturday night when I’m all out of cooking motivation because it comes together so quickly. It’s also wonderful for a weeknight meal that you’re squeezing in between practices and homework.
Additionally, it’s excellent for that Super bowl party, or any gathering for that matter. This is one of the most versatile any time of the year type recipes. Oh, and did I mention it is loved by all?
I think what really makes this recipe stand out is the pretzel buns. They’re warm and soft on the top, and the bottom gets just a slight crisp edge from the sizzling butter. Yeah, did I mention this recipe calls for some serious buttah?
Hey, I never said this was the healthiest recipe, okay? But it’s really not all that bad. You still need some fat in your diet.
Here we go, are you ready? This might take you all of 10 minutes to prepare. Then just pop it in the oven and bake it until it’s warm and bubbly.
And there it is! Happy Weekend!

Recipe Notes
You can make these amazing sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls, onion buns, or even regular hamburger buns. If you use a larger bun, it will make 8 sandwiches.
You could also substitute dried minced onion for the fresh diced onion. But use half the amount.
Hey Chellie, first of all, I loved seeing all the photos of your adorable family in Universal Studios. Looks like a fun time was had by all!
Second, this pretzel sliders would make the men in my family SOOOO happy this weekend. Just curious, where do you find your pretzel rolls? I’m not sure I’ve seen them in my neck of the woods.
Hope you are settled back in and have all your laundry done!

Hi Lynn! We did have a great time! We’re almost back to normal. The fridge broke while we were gone, so that was a mess! But it’s up and running again and hasn’t been cleaner since the day we bought it! LOL!! I get my pretzel buns at Aldi, and I’ve seen them at Meijer too. Do you have either on of those stores? I haven’t checked Costco or Sam’s, but you could try them too. They freeze just fine if you’re concerned about bulk buying. I think they are becoming more popular, because those stores haven’t always had them. Best of luck!! If you can’t find them, Onion buns are good too, and they’re larger–more man size. 🙂
Oh my goodness, these are amazing. I love the butter mixture over these pretzel sliders. Yummy! I would love it if you would share this recipe at a link party I am hosting. I hope to see you there. http://diy180site.blogspot.com/2016/09/dishing-it-and-digging-it-link-party-114.html
