What You Need To Make This Tropical Baked Hawaiian Sandwiches Recipe?
King’s Hawaiian Rolls: The key ingredient. These rolls add a delightful sweetness. That makes the sandwiches truly special. Their soft texture is perfect for party sliders.
Honey-Cured Ham and Smoked Turkey: This combination brings a fantastic mix of sweet and smoky flavors. Creating a rich and satisfying filling.
Swiss and Provolone Cheese: Mixing these cheeses gives you the best of both worlds: Swiss for a mild, nutty flavor. And provolone for its smooth, creamy texture. Ensuring each bite is cheesy and delicious.
Butter Mixture: More than just a topping. This mix of butter, sugar, honey mustard, and poppy seeds. Creates a golden, slightly crispy crust on the rolls. While the poppy seeds add a subtle crunch.
Dried Onion Flakes: A sprinkle of these brings a concentrated onion flavor. That enhances the meaty layers. Without overwhelming them.
Steps To Make Tropical Baked Hawaiian Sandwiches:
Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F. And placing a rack in the lower half. Take the bottom halves of your Hawaiian rolls. And arrange them on a baking sheet. Top each with half a slice of ham, Swiss cheese, turkey, and provolone. Cover them with the roll tops to form sandwiches.

Step 2: In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Over low heat. Mix in the sugar, dried onion flakes, poppy seeds, and honey mustard. Stir until the sugar dissolves. And the mixture is smooth. Generously brush this mixture over each sandwich. Covering them evenly.
Step 3: Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven. For about 15 minutes. Or until the tops are golden brown. And the cheese is deliciously melted. The heavenly aroma will fill your kitchen. And the sandwiches will come out looking irresistibly tempting!
Tip:
For an extra layer of flavor and texture. Try adding a thin layer of pineapple slices to the sandwiches before baking. The pineapple complements the sweetness of the Hawaiian rolls. And the savory meats beautifully. Adding a juicy burst. That truly embodies the tropical theme of this dish. Just ensure the slices are thin. To maintain the balance of flavors. And to prevent the sliders. From becoming too soggy.
