Arby's Ham & Swiss Melt
Thinly-sliced, smoked ham with melty Swiss cheese on a sesame bun.
About the Ham & Swiss Melt
Arby's Ham & Swiss Melt keeps things simple at $5.29 and 380 cal: thinly sliced smoked ham and melty Swiss cheese on a sesame bun. It is one of the most straightforward builds in the crafted sandwich lineup, and that simplicity is a big part of the appeal.
Smoked ham brings a gentle salt and a light, woodsy smokiness, and the thin slices fold into a soft, tender pile. Swiss cheese melts over the top into a mild, nutty, slightly sweet layer that sticks the ham together and stretches when you pull the halves apart. The sesame bun stays soft with a hint of toastiness from the seeds. There are no sauces or vegetables in the official build, so the sandwich tastes clean and familiar, like a warm deli ham and cheese from a lunch counter.
It looks modest, a round bun with pink ham peeking out and pale cheese melting down the sides, and it is easy to eat with one hand. That makes it a good pick for a quick lunch at your desk, a light dinner, or a kid who likes plain sandwiches. It also works for anyone who does not eat beef but still wants a hot sandwich from Arby's.
The Ham & Swiss Melt calories are among the lowest of the full size sandwiches on the Arby's sandwiches menu, yet it delivers 26 grams of protein, which is more than the Classic Roast Beef. That combination makes it a smart order when you want something filling but not heavy. Sodium runs on the high side, as it does with most deli ham, so keep that in mind if you track salt.
The Ham & Swiss Melt price matches the Classic Roast Beef at $5.29, which places both at the low end of the full size sandwiches. Hungry for more? The Ham & Swiss Melt Meal pairs the melt with fries and a drink, and the bill comes to $9.79. For a smaller bite, the Ham Slider sits on the value menu. All prices here trace back to a single Austin, TX Arby's.
Ham and Swiss go well with tangy and creamy sides. Put White Cheddar Mac 'n Cheese next to it for comfort food on a cold day, or a Vanilla Shake for a sweet contrast to the smoky, salty ham.

How to Make Ham & Swiss Melt at Home?
The Ham & Swiss Melt is the easiest copycat on the Arby's menu: three ingredients, an oven and about 10 minutes. A tight foil wrap in the oven steams the bun and melts the Swiss just like the restaurant version.
Ingredients
Steps
All steps done. Enjoy your homemade Ham & Swiss Melt.
Tips
- • Pick a ham labeled smoked, like a hickory smoked or applewood smoked deli ham, for the closest flavor.
- • Fold the ham rather than stacking it flat; air between the slices makes the sandwich softer.
- • Assemble and wrap the sandwiches up to 4 hours ahead and bake right before serving.
Variations
- • Brush the bun tops with melted butter and poppy seeds for a party slider version on small rolls.
- • Add a thin swipe of honey mustard inside the bun for sweetness.
- • Use baby Swiss for an even milder, creamier melt.
Serving Ideas
Serve with a cup of tomato soup or creamy mac and cheese, or cut into quarters for an easy lunchbox sandwich.
