These delicious ham treats, coated in a buttery and sweet glaze, make the perfect appetizer or even full meal! Perfect for parties and picnics.
Prepare a pull-apart roll recipe by placing them in a baking dish coated with cooking spray and spreading both cut sides with mayonnaise mixture, evenly layering ham and cheese on bottoms, then replacing tops and brushing melted butter over it all.
Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is a delicious creamy condiment composed of egg yolks, oil, lemon juice or vinegar, mustard seed and salt that has its roots either in France or Spain and used globally to flavor many foods and sandwiches.
Commercial mayonnaise typically contains high levels of fat; however, olive or avocado oil can be substituted to increase its nutrition value and make mayonnaise more healthful. Mayonnaise also acts as an ingredient in hollandaise sauce for eggs benedict, and as an alternative to butter when keeping baked goods moist.
Making homemade mayonnaise requires only minimal ingredients and skill. The key to creating delicious mayo lies in stirring vigorously so the two liquids emulsify (combine). At first, drop by drop oil should be added while whisking. As soon as this step has stabilized, more oil may be added more rapidly; lemon juice helps break down proteins in egg yolks so they emulsify more readily.
Ham
Cured ham is an enticing combination of saltiness and sweetness. These sugary notes pair beautifully with different accent flavors such as salt, smoke, brown sugar, maple syrup, spicy mustard or cloves for an exciting experience.
When creating delicious ham delights, begin with quality deli ham and superior-grade cheese such as Swiss. Other popular choices such as provolone, white cheddar and Havarti also add delicious flair.
To create these delectable treats, carefully slice a loaf of Hawaiian rolls horizontally without separating each individual roll. Spread each of the cut sides evenly with mayonnaise mixture before layering on a layer of ham and cheese topped off by brushing with any leftover butter sauce mixture from step 1. Bake these delicious treats until toasty and cheese has melted for an impressive appetizer at any event – they make a fantastic crowd pleaser that you can even prepare in advance and store covered until ready to be enjoyed by all!
Swiss Cheese
Ham delights are an irresistibly delicious Southern classic for potlucks, game day gatherings and other celebrations. Soft dinner rolls filled with ham and Swiss cheese are doused with tangy butter sauce for maximum melty goodness – they’re melty, gooey goodness that’s sure to please.
Prepare these in advance and store in the fridge covered. Just remove the foil during baking to let the tops crisp up properly!
Use a block of Swiss cheese for optimal results, but provolone, white cheddar or Havarti works just as well. Be sure to grate directly from its block rather than from pre-shredded bags which tend to melt more slowly.
Serve this easy yet delicious recipe alongside salad and chips for a satisfying lunch or snack! When entertaining large crowds, be sure to double up on ingredients so there will be enough for everyone – serve quickly before the ham and cheese get cold!
Butter Sauce
Butter sauce is an immensely useful food ingredient. From drizzling it over fish or cheese dishes to dousing them in it altogether, butter sauce has the power to transform any dish!
To create this butter sauce, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat and add finely minced shallot. Cook until softened – around 1 minute – then whisk in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder and poppy seeds before seasoning it off with salt and lemon juice to give an irresistibly zingy zing of flavor!
This buttery, savory, and salty appetizer is easy to make and perfect for feeding a crowd. Plus, it can even be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge before being baked! Ham and Swiss sliders will make an irresistible weeknight snack or highlight of any party or get-together, especially with KING’S HAWAIIAN Original Sweet Rolls providing the ideal foundation.
