Why Our Recipe?
- Our magical mayo sauce sets our sliders apart from the rest!
- Easy to prepare so dinner is ready in minutes.
- Can use leftover ham, packaged sliced ham, or deli-sliced.
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.
This is the second time I’ve made these for my group. They love them! People kept asking what was in them or how I made them. I told them all the credit for the recipe goes to The Stay at Home Chef. I even had to pull up the website and show them! Absolutely the best Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders I’ve ever made. Thank you for such great recipes. And I love your videos!!
Easy and delicious! And that mayo??? Wow!
I’ve probably had 1000 ham & cheese sandwiches in my life, but none of them were anything like this most delicious combination. I don’t even have words to describe it, except to say Try This Recipe! I don’t love swiss so I used pepperjack on half but got equally good reports on the swiss half. Also I planned on using Hawaiian rolls but then I saw these super soft little brioche rolls in the bakery & couldn’t resist, but I’m sure they are equally delicious on any roll.
I’ve made these before for baby showers, other events. They are delicious and everyone loves them!
Just curious about the butter sauce. Is there really a full tablespoon of onion powder? I’ve seen similar recipes, but they have 1 teaspoon onion powder and a tablespoon of Worcester sauce. This recipe is reversed. Just wanted to clarify before making. Thanks!
That is indeed correct but feel free to make adjustments to it if you want!
I have made many of your recipes
All delicious. I love watching you cook I’ve learned so much. Thank you
Made these for a quick lunch after Sunday morning service they came out great I did changed the recipe up a little bit since I didn’t have poppy seeds definitely going to make this recipe again.
