These are the classic ham sliders everyone knows — taken up a notch. Instead of stacking sliced ham and baking, the ham is chopped and griddled, then layered with melty cheese and finished with a savory-sweet butter sauce. The result is richer flavor, better texture, and sliders that don’t slide apart.

Ingredients
- •1 (12-count) package Hawaiian-style slider rolls
- •1½–2 lb ham, chopped (salt ham, honey ham, or off-the-bone)
- •12 slices Swiss cheese (or provolone, pepper jack, or preferred melting cheese)
- •½ cup unsalted butter
- •2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- •1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- •1 Tbsp brown sugar
- •1 tsp garlic powder
- •1 tsp onion powder
- •1 Tbsp mayonnaise (Duke recommended)
- •1–2 Tbsp avocado oil (for cooking ham)
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 350°F. If using a pellet grill, preheat to 340–350°F.
- 2Without separating the rolls, slice the entire slab horizontally to create tops and bottoms.
- 3Toast both sides of the rolls lightly on a griddle or skillet until golden. Spread mayonnaise on the cut sides and set aside.
- 4Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and chopped ham. Cook 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and heated through.
- 5In a saucepan or griddle-safe pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Remove from heat.
- 6Lay cheese slices evenly across the bottom buns. Spoon hot ham evenly over the cheese. Add additional cheese if desired, then place the top buns on.
- 7Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops and sides of the sliders.
- 8Transfer sliders to oven or pellet grill. Bake 15–20 minutes, until cheese is melted and tops are golden.
- 9Rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Hussey's Egg-Griddle Tips
- ▸Chopping and cooking the ham creates more surface area and deeper flavor.
- ▸Any good melting cheese works — Swiss is classic, but provolone and pepper jack are excellent swaps.
- ▸This recipe works entirely indoors or outdoors on a griddle, pellet grill, or home oven.
- ▸Leftover holiday ham is perfect for this recipe.
