These Hawaiian baked ham and Swiss sandwiches combine sweet rolls, savory ham, Swiss cheese, and a buttery glaze for a warm, crowd-pleasing appetizer or party snack.
5 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 stick ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon honey mustard
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 15 King’s Hawaiian rolls
- 1 pound sliced honey baked ham
- Approximately 10 slices Swiss cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven:
- Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Prepare the glaze:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, honey mustard, dried minced onion, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until well blended and set aside.
Assemble the sandwiches:
- Without separating the rolls individually, slice the entire set of King’s Hawaiian rolls horizontally to create one top and one bottom slab. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
Layer with fillings:
- Evenly distribute the sliced ham over the bottom rolls. Layer the Swiss cheese on top of the ham. If desired, repeat the layers for additional fillings. Place the top half of the rolls back on to complete the sandwiches.
Apply the glaze:
- Spoon or brush the prepared glaze evenly over the tops of the rolls, ensuring full coverage. Allow the mixture to seep into the sides slightly.
Bake the sandwiches:
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted.
Serve warm:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. These sandwiches are best enjoyed warm.
Notes
To make these sandwiches gluten-free, substitute the King’s Hawaiian rolls with certified gluten-free sweet rolls or gluten-free brioche-style buns. Additionally, verify that your Worcestershire sauce and deli ham are labeled gluten-free, as certain brands may contain wheat-based additives or preservatives. Always check ingredient labels to ensure safety for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.
