Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders Recipe

Deeeelicious! We love this style of sandwich, and this one did not disappoint! We really liked how with this recipe, you put two-thirds the butter-onion mixture in the sandwich rather than all of the mixture on the top. To mince the onion, I just put it in my small chopper and let it do the work. The oven times were spot on for me. Fifteen minutes covered and 7 minutes uncovered. Thanks whizgee, for sharing your version of this popular sandwich. It is a keeper.

Have made these soooo many times its ridiculous! It's an addiction I have created amongst family and friends. The only thing I do differently is use way less butter and used dried chopped onion and what really makes it is.....I use a peach or peach-mango preserve on the bottom bun for a sauce and once you heat it OMG....magical party in your mouth lol

Made as described but just wanted to share a super easy way to cut them. Before assembling, put the conjoined rolls on a piece of parchment paper. Slice them in half the long way so you have all 12 roll tops still together. Assemble the “sandwich” but do not add butter mixture to the top yet. Slice the sandwiches into 12 pieces while still on top of the parchment paper. Pick up the parchment paper and set them all into the pan you will bake them in. Now slather with butter and bake.

One of my favorites! Although, it’s missing a Step 8: Slice the individual rolls apart. Otherwise, large slices of ham and cheese will pull out when picking up each roll.

I really enjoyed the flavor these sliders offered. It was quick and easy for me to make. Changes I made/will make next time. I added mayo to the bottom layer of bread, will put meat down before adding 2/3 of the butter mixture, I found by putting it directly on the bread it came out a bit soggy for my liking, and lastly I will reduce the amount of butter by just a tad. Other than that fantastic recipe!

2/5/17: 48 mini Hawaiian rolls. 1 c. Butter, 1 finely chopped onion, 4 T Dijon mustard, 2 T poppyseed, 4 t worstershire sauce, 2 lb deli ham, 16 slices Swiss cheese.

Made these for my book club group last night and they were a real hit! I doubled the recipe and made 8 in an 8' x 8' pan with Turkey and Provolone Cheese and 16 in a 9' x 13' pan with Ham and Swiss Cheese. Think that I liked the ham better, but they were both wonderful! I put them together in the morning, covered with foil and put in the fridge for the day. The only ingredient that I changed was to use 1/4 cup dried onion flakes (for the doubled recipe) instead of minced fresh onions. They worked just fine and it was much quicker to put together. I probably also put less of the topping on the inside of the rolls than the recipe called for. Just brushed the butter sauce on each roll bottom till they looked well moistened. I just love how these get kind of crispy on the bottom, got ooey, gooey on the inside, and the topping was so pretty and tasted so good. Great company casual meal! Thanks, Susan. I am going to go out to the site and see what other yummy contributions you have made.

I made these but the poppy seeds all were in one spot in the sauce and clumped together when I tried to pour over sliders. Next time, I did not add the seeds to the sauce. Poured the sauce over and then sprinkled the poppy seeds over before baking. 100% improvement.

Was a huge hit at my family reunion! I made a large lasagna pan of 24 little sliders and it was gone in minutes, so make more than you think you need! Couldn't find King's Hawaiian rolls (maybe not sold in Canada?) so used flaky pull-apart type biscuit rolls and they turned out great. Since I had 24 sandwiches instead of the recipe's 12, but wasn't sure if the size of my rolls were smaller than the King's rolls, I split the difference and increased the sauce ingredients (except onion and Worcestershire sauce) and ham by about 50 percent, and the amount was just right. Just used enough sliced Swiss cheese to cover (12-14 slices). The only things I added were a bit of mayo on the bottom buns under the sauce, and some parsley for colour. You can't really go wrong with these little guys.

I used onion flakes not minced onion. I also put Mayo on the rolls before I put the ham and cheese on. I used sharp cheddar since my kids don’t like Swiss. They were delicious.

These sandwiches are simply awesome and so easy to put together! I live in Sweden, so I don't have access to "slider" buns, not to mention Hawaiian Sweet Bread. So the change I made was to make them on whole wheat rolls -- "regular" size. Which was also practical because I was serving them for dinner for our family of six. Other than the bread, I made two of them with smoked ham for my husband and I. Because our four teenage boys are refugees from Afghanistan and therefore Muslim, I used smoked deli turkey for their sandwiches. These were a definite hit with everyone, including requests that I make them again! I served them with a green salad and potato chips.

I added some creole mustard!

Made 1/2 recipe with honey mustard, omitted the poppy seeds and used hot honey ham. Great modifications!

Quick, simple, and insanely tasty.

I’m officially hooked! 😱

These are great! To answer a question above, yes, these can be made ahead and warmed; I even freeze them, thaw them, and then put them in the oven. They are even delicious cold.

Made No changes !

This recipe is foolproof and delicious.

Easy and tastey. Has become a family favorite, which is not an easy feat. It’s easy to slice the rolls in half (step 3) with a serrated blade, as Hawaiian dinner rolls are lightly attached when they come from the package. I didn’t have poppy seeds, but the sliders were good without them.

Delicious‼️
