Heading out to a picnic? Cream cheese slider sandwiches are big on flavor and are perfect because they are very portable. 

Summer is here! There is now plenty of time to have fun in the pool and discover new places that we haven’t visited yet.

Are you looking for family fun in Southwestern Michigan or Northwestern Indiana? Here are some of our favorite places to visit

  • Head over to St. Joseph, MI for the Splash Pad and grab a slice of pizza at Silver Beach Pizza.
  • Visit the animals at Potawatomi Zoo – The oldest zoo in Indiana.
  • Central Park in Mishawaka – Our newest find! A smaller splash pad and play area. The perfect place to have a picnic!
  • Make sure to catch a South Bend Cubs game.

See the area that we live in is coined ‘ Michiana’.  On the border of Michigan and Indiana.  Head to Kalamazoo or to South Bend in equal time.  Plus we are about equally 2-1/2 hours from Detroit, Indianapolis, and Chicago.

No matter where we head off to, whether it’s a park or a cookout, these sandwiches are a special treat to take. 

For these sliders, I use sweet Hawaiian rolls to make them.  The slider buns come in a package that can be used to get them where they are going without worrying about extra storage.

Ingredients

These ham and cheese sliders on Hawaiian sweet rolls have-

  • Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • Spreadable cream cheese mixed with garlic, oregano, and parsley
  • Black forest ham and hard salami from the deli
  • Slices of beefsteak tomato

How to make cream cheese slider sandwiches step-by-step

First, let’s make the herbed cream cheese.  Take a 16-ounce tub of spreadable cream cheese, and add garlic powder, oregano, and parsley, then stir to combine.

Cut the buns in half, placing the bottom half back into the box that the rolls originally came in.

Spread half of the cream cheese on the buns.  Layer the hard salami, black forest ham, and sliced tomatoes.

Taking the top half spread the rest of the cream cheese on it, then put it on top.

How to transport ham and cheese sliders to your favorite picnic location

  • Use the packaging from the rolls.  Since they were made right in the paper tray now just cover with two pieces of plastic wrap and put back into the bag. 
  • Tie with the plastic tie.
  • Place the sandwiches at the top of your cooler so they don’t get flattened.

Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • Use the packaging from the rolls. Since they were made right in the paper tray now just cover with two pieces of plastic wrap and put back into the bag.
  • Tie with the plastic tie.
  • Place the sandwiches at the top of your cooler so they don’t get flattened.
  • To store: be sure to add these to a cooler for transporting and eating as soon as possible. If making these at home to eat, keep covered, and eat within 2 days, the bread can tend to get soggy if not eaten right away. You can avoid this by leaving off the tomato slices and only adding them right before eating.
