Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz soft Hawaiian-style dinner rolls
  • 12 oz thinly sliced deli ham
  • 8 oz Swiss cheese slices
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise optional
  • 7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tbsp dried minced onion
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp light brown sugar
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Slice the rolls horizontally as a single slab. Set the bottoms in the baking dish.
  • Spread the cut sides with mayonnaise, if using.
  • Layer ham evenly over the bottom slab. Top with the Swiss cheese slices.
  • Place the top slab of rolls over the cheese to close the sandwiches.
  • Whisk melted butter with Dijon, Worcestershire, poppy seeds, dried onion, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • Brush the butter mixture over the tops and down the sides. Spoon any extra into the edges.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 12 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake 3–5 minutes more, until the tops are lightly toasted and the cheese is melted.
  • Rest 5 minutes. Slice along the roll lines and serve warm.

Notes

Try swapping Swiss for provolone or cheddar, or add a few dill pickle chips for crunch. Assemble up to 8 hours ahead, cover, and refrigerate; add 3–5 minutes to the bake time. Leftovers reheat well wrapped in foil at 300°F for 10 minutes.
