Soon the HOLIDAY dinners will be in full swing. After dinner, (after you unzip those pants), you will find during clean-up that you have a lot of leftovers. What to do?

These Baked Ham Sandwiches are a great way to mix up the regular lunch or dinner routine. Especially if you have the leftover ham that needs to be used up the next day. The best meal I say is made quickly and from leftovers.

And of course, you can substitute for deli-style ham if you don’t have any leftovers. Either way, you make it, there will be a delicious lunch or dinner option. And let me say this: there is nothing better than leftovers.

But if you also have leftover turkey and cranberry sauce – check out this leftover meal – Cranberry Turkey Flatbread. It will make for another delicious meal.

How To Make Cheese Sliders With Leftover Ham

First thing, if you have leftover dinner rolls or those Hawaiian sweet rolls, your sandwiches just got turned up a notch (BAMM!!! As Emeril Lagasse would say). You are going to want to use those up too.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350. Then start to slice each dinner roll into tops and bottoms.

STEP TWO: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and dijon. Then spread it on each dinner roll (tops and bottoms). Make sure you have covered each piece completely.

STEP THREE: Then place the bottoms into a 13×9 buttered pan. 4 rows of 3 should fit. After placing it in your baking dish, we are going to start laying. Then, place your 2 pieces (quarters) of provolone at the bottom of each roll.

STEP FOUR: Then add sliced leftover Ham and then another 2 pieces (quarters) of American Cheese. Doubling up on the cheese. Place tops on, and lightly press down.

Substitutions: Swiss cheese and cheddar cheese also pair well together.

STEP FIVE: Now, in a small bowl, add the butter, garlic, parsley, salt & pepper and melt in the microwave. Brush this butter mixture on the tops of the rolls. If you have extra, pour it evenly right over all the rolls!

STEP SIX: Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional) and mozzarella or parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Once out of the oven, you are ready to serve and enjoy.

I serve these sandwiches hot and they fly off the table. So be forewarned. Here are more leftover ham recipes you may enjoy!
