Absolutely! Here’s a classic recipe for Hawaiian Baked Ham and Swiss Sandwiches—sweet, savory, melty, and perfect for a crowd or weeknight dinner.
Hawaiian Baked Ham and Swiss Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls (or small dinner rolls)
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
- 12 slices ham (deli or leftover cooked ham)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, for a little tang)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a baking dish large enough to hold the sandwiches. - Assemble Sandwiches:
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected if possible for easier baking.
- Place the bottom halves in the baking dish.
- Layer ham and then Swiss cheese on each roll.
- Top with the roll tops.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, onion powder, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Brush and Bake:
- Brush the glaze generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve:
- Serve warm, either as a pull-apart sandwich platter or individually.
Tips
- Make Ahead: Assemble the sandwiches the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Brush with glaze and bake just before serving.
- Add Pineapple: For extra “Hawaiian” flair, add a slice of pineapple on top of the ham before the cheese.
- Make It Spicy: Add a little sriracha or mustard to the glaze for a kick.
If you want, I can also give a slow-cooker version where the sandwiches turn extra soft and melty, perfect for potlucks or casual gatherings.
Do you want me to give that version too?
