We absolutely love sliders around here, and it’s easy to see why—they’re the perfect way to feed a crowd or just your family without breaking a sweat. Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders are practically the OG of the slider world, especially when you’ve got some leftover ham that’s begging to be used. Chef Cayt takes this classic to the next level with what she calls her “Magical Mayo Sauce.” It might sound fancy, but it’s really just a simple garlic aioli that packs a flavorful punch. Trust us, this little twist makes all the difference, turning an everyday slider into something you just can’t get enough of.

Add Toppings

  • Pickles: Add some sliced dill pickles on top of the ham before you place the top slab of rolls.
  • Caramelized Onions: For a sweet and savory flavor boost, add a layer of caramelized onions under the cheese.
  • Crispy Bacon: Who doesn’t love bacon? Add a layer of crispy cooked bacon strips above the ham.
  • Roasted Red Peppers: For a hint of smokiness and color, lay some strips of roasted red peppers on the cheese.

Using Leftovers

If you have any leftover ham, simply slice it thinly and use it in place of deli-sliced ham. Similarly, if you have an assortment of cheeses remaining from your charcuterie board, feel free to mix and match them in the sliders.

Storage & Reheating Instructions

Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
