Ingredients
12 Hawaiian rolls
12 slices deli ham
6 slices Swiss cheese
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally as one whole slab, keeping the rolls attached.
3. Place the bottom half in the baking dish. Layer evenly with deli ham, Swiss cheese, and red onion slices.
4. Replace the top half of the rolls to create the sandwiches.
5. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in garlic powder and Dijon mustard.
6. Use a pastry brush to spread the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and parsley if using.
7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–8 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
9. Let cool slightly, slice along the roll lines, and serve warm.
Notes
Slice the rolls evenly with a serrated knife to keep them intact and avoid squishing.
To make ahead, assemble everything except the butter glaze and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
For extra crispiness, broil the tops for 1–2 minutes after baking.
