Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Microwave-safe bowl
• Baking dish
• Sharp knife
• Oven

Ingredients

• 1 package of 12 dinner rolls (King’s Hawaiian Savory Butter Dinner Rolls recommended)
• 1 lb deli ham, shredded or thinly sliced
• 1 lb Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 sticks butter
• 1 1/2 tsp dry mustard
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dry chopped onion
• 2 tbsp poppy seeds

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, then stir in the dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dried minced onion, and poppy seeds.
2. Cut the entire package of rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves separate but intact. Ensure the 12 bun tops and bottoms are connected.
3. Place the bottom half of the buns in a baking dish and layer with ham, then cheese. Cover with the top halves of the buns.
4. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the top of the rolls, making sure the onion and poppy seeds are well distributed. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
5. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Once baked, cut the rolls to serve.

Tips for Success

For best results, allow the rolls to absorb the flavorful butter mixture overnight. This ensures every bite is delicious and infused with flavor.

Additional Tips and Variations

Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add extra layers of flavor with ingredients like roasted red peppers or sautéed mushrooms. If you prefer a sweeter touch, try using the original sweet Hawaiian rolls.
