Sandwich Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 12 slices of ham
- 12 slices of cheese (such as Swiss or cheddar)
Finishing
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sandwiches.
- Prepare Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian roll package horizontally into two halves, keeping the rolls attached so they don’t separate.
- Layer Ingredients: On the bottom half, evenly layer the ham slices, then add the cheese slices over the ham.
- Reassemble Rolls: Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls back over the layered ham and cheese.
- Butter the Top: Use a brush to evenly coat the top of the rolls with the melted butter, ensuring a golden, flavorful crust when baked.
- Bake: Place the assembled rolls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then cut the rolls between the individual sandwich portions and serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute Swiss cheese with cheddar, provolone, or any cheese that melts well.
- Adding a little Dijon mustard or honey mustard under the ham can add an extra layer of flavor.
- For a crispier top, bake a few extra minutes while watching carefully to avoid burning.
- These sandwiches can be assembled ahead and refrigerated; just add baking time if baking straight from cold.
- Use unsalted butter to control sodium content, or substitute with olive oil for a different flavor.
