Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 package King’s Hawaiian Rolls or other soft dinner rolls, 12-count
- 1 lb thinly sliced ham
- 1 package Swiss or provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp prepared mustard
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- Poppy seeds optional
Instructions
- Using a serrated bread knife, cut the rolls in half lengthwise, keeping the bottom halves attached and the top halves attached.
- Place the bottom half of the rolls in the bottom of a baking pan.
- Arrange the thinly sliced ham evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
- Place the Swiss or provolone cheese evenly over the ham.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the ham and cheese layer.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard, brown sugar, and onion powder.
- Stir until the sauce is fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the sandwiches.
- Cover the baking pan tightly with foil or plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate the rolls for 4 to 24 hours to allow the sauce to absorb into the bread. For best flavor, marinate overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Remove the rolls from the refrigerator while the oven preheats.
- If using poppy seeds, sprinkle them evenly over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake the rolls uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the buns are golden.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the rolls to rest for a few minutes.
- Slice into individual sandwiches and serve warm.
