Ingredients:

  • 1 pack (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1 lb deli-sliced smoked ham
  • 8 oz Swiss cheese slices
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt

Instructions:

  1. Using a serrated knife, slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Keep the top and bottom slabs separate.
  2. Place the bottom slab into a 9x13 inch baking pan, pressing it down slightly to ensure there are no gaps.
  3. Layer the Swiss cheese evenly across the bottom bun.
  4. Pile the thinly sliced ham on top of the cheese, ensuring full coverage.
  5. Finish with a second layer of Swiss cheese and place the top bun slab over the cheese.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, onion powder, poppy seeds, and garlic salt.
  7. Use a pastry brush to paint the glaze generously over the tops of the rolls, letting it drip slightly down the sides.
  8. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the tops are a deep mahogany-gold and the cheese is bubbling.
