However you slice it, a holiday ham is big, so you’re going to have a lot of leftovers. Luckily, these leftover ham recipes mean that you can eat well through the rest of the year, no matter how bad your holiday burnout may be.
This list has tons of leftover ham ideas so that you can repurpose your honey-glazed honker into plenty of delicious meals, from a simple-yet-satisfying croque monsieur to a comforting pot of kimchi mac and cheese to a Christmas-brunch-ready green eggs and ham casserole. With cheesy hand pies, cozy baked potatoes, and easy sandwiches galore, we’ve got all the leftover ham recipes you need to make the most of that roast. Not all of these recipes call for leftover ham explicitly, but with a little creativity, you'll be able to make ham happen. (You don't need to twist our arm to add some chopped ham to a bowl of creamy pasta, for example.)
Wondering how long you can keep this leftover party going? According to the USDA, ham can be kept in the fridge for 3–5 days after the main event, or frozen indefinitely (though its quality is best within 1–2 months).

Fancy Grilled Cheese with a Fried Egg
Grilled Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches
Give your knife a few swipes on the sharpener and try to slice the grilled tenderloin as thinly as possible (think roast beef from the deli). It’ll make these open-faced pork sandwiches a lot easier to eat and such a difference in texture.
Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese
Adult Mac and Cheese
One-Pot Kimchi and Squash Mac and Cheese
This is a “necessity is the mother of invention” kind of recipe, born from isolation, scant ingredients, an oversupply of kimchi, and sheer hunger. Yet this unconventional one-pot approach also happens to be one of the simplest ways to prepare mac and cheese.

Smoked Cheddar and Ham Toasties with Fig “Mostarda”
Comfort food wins 100% of the time, and this update on the grilled ham and cheese takes things up a notch. Made with an easy-to-make but seriously impressive fig mostarda, and layered with ham and slices of smoked cheddar, it’s the kind of sammie you can make a meal out of.

Creamed Corn and Pepperoni Grandma Pie
This weeknight pizza introduces the topping you didn’t know you were missing: creamed corn. Blitzing raw corn kernels with ricotta, Parmesan, heavy cream, and olive oil creates a quick and lush creamed-corn sauce. Spicy, salty, and smoky pepperoni complements the creamy sauce, while smoked mozzarella brings an even deeper dimension to the pizza (but regular mozzarella also works). Be sure to top the finished pizza with plenty of bright basil for a super-fresh hit. Although this recipe works best with fresh corn, thawed frozen corn is a fine substitute.
Broccoli and Cheese Quiche
This is a remarkable quiche recipe for a few reasons: The dough is intentionally generous so that it can be formed into tall walls all around, and the filling is jam-packed full of healthy greens. They balance out the butter and cream, right?
