Well these little sammies could be made for any occasion, really. They were a big hit at my daughter's Christening. But, it's football time and the internet tells me that people like to eat while they watch football. This recipe is all over Pinterest so I'm sure you've seen it before. IT'S DANG GOOD, Y'ALL.
They're perfect for feeding a crowd because you make 12 at once and they can be done ahead of time. The original recipe is posted on the
Kings Hawaiian website. My version is listed below!
Ingredients
1 pkg Kings Hawaiian Sweet rolls
1 lb shaved ham
1/2 lb sliced cheese (I use fontina)
1 small onion, minced
1 stick of butter
1.5 Tbsp dijon mustard
1.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Poppy seeds to garnish
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt the butter in a pan and add the onions.
- Stir until onions become translucent.
- Add mustard, worcestershire sauce and stir. Remove from heat.
- Cut the sweet rolls in half, but keep the layers intact.
- Place the bottom layer in a 9 x 13 pan.
- Add the butter mixture to the bottom half of the rolls, about a teaspoon on each roll.
- Add a layer of ham and then a layer of cheese.
- Place top half of the rolls onto the sandwiches.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the butter mixture. Ensure that some of the onions make it up there.
- Sprinkle the rolls with poppy seeds.
- Bake the sandwiches for approx 15 minutes so the cheese is melted and the rolls are brown.
- Eat, drink and repeat.
I've been known to make these for lunch on the weekend. We seriously eat all twelve them.
I'm a little (a lot) OCD so I actually break all of the rolls apart and fold the ham and cheese so that they fit nicely on each sandwich. Yikes, I know. But listen, happy wife, happy life right? Riiiiight.
Make these for your fooseball get together this weekend or for whatever else you've got going on. Hope you love them!!
