Hawaiian Baked Ham and Swiss Sandwiches

These are no ordinary ham and cheese sandwiches, at least not the simple kind you’d expect to find in your box lunch or offered around at a business meeting. These have added appeal. First, they have a Hawaiian touch because they’re prepared using sweet Hawaiian rolls, and then they’re baked in the oven, so they come out crispy and toasty!

Minced onion, honey mustard and Worcestershire sauce add plenty of flavor to these baked sandwiches.

Once they are baked, the sliders are golden brown and the cheese has melted into the ham, giving these sliders a nice flavor and texture.

Spruce up your usual ham sandwiches by making these and everyone will adore them, from the juicy ham, tasty Swiss cheese and tasty sweet glaze on top. You simply can’t go wrong with these incredible baked sandwiches whatever the occasion.

The contrast of sweet and savory is just so good here. You can serve them with a dipping sauce or even a duo or trio of dipping sauces. And they’re best served hot of course!

Storage Instructions:

Leftovers aren’t likely since these are so good! But if you do have some over, wrap them in foil and refrigerate them. Then you can warm them back up in the microwave or a hot oven within a couple of days. If you’re using the microwave give them 15 second increments or, if using the oven, about 10 minutes at 350°F should work.

Variations and Substitutions:

Feel free to add grilled pineapple rings to these to boost the Hawaiian flavor, or add onions or slices of bell pepper. You can also change the Swiss cheese to another kind, such as pepper jack or provolone. And, once these are baked, you can crack them open and add salad ingredients like lettuce and tomatoes. Don’t add lettuce before baking though – nobody likes the wilt factor!
