Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches are perfectly seasoned, flavorful sliders that will be an easy to prepare fan favorite at any gathering!
My favorite parts of the year are the holidays, when we get the opportunity to gather as a family and enjoy each other’s company. I especially love the food. We make BBQ, or Smoked Turkey, or oven baked ham. The sides are always to die for, including loaded mashed potatoes, Christmas Jell-O, and deviled eggs. However, the best part about cooking all of that food is the opportunity for leftovers! I love ham, but I love these Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches almost more than the ham fresh out of the oven!
Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches make the perfect leftovers dish!
We always eat early it seems. Christmas Eve dinner is more like Christmas Eve lunch most years. Thanksgiving is always served by 2pm, although normally it’s more like 12:15! So when 7pm rolled around during our last holiday gathering, and everybody started to get munchy, I knew it was the perfect time to test drive this recipe. Leftover ham (which was plentiful that day!), leftover Hawaiian sliders (again, plentiful), and a few quick ingredients and these sliders were out of the oven and into bellies in no time!
There’s something about sliders. These sliders combine smoky leftover ham and sharp cheddar cheese. The Dijon mustard and Worcestershire (how do you even say this??) sauce add a nice flavor element. Baked in the oven and brushed with butter, these sliders will have everybody asking for more! I love eating sliders….2-3 bites and they are gone, but when executed perfectly, they are literally the best 2-3 bites on your plate. These Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches did not disappoint!
