Sweet Hawaiian rolls piled high with salty ham and melty cheese are drizzled in a decadent butter sauce made of melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce onion powder and poppy seeds for maximum flavour!
These sliders are an easy and delicious way to serve a crowd! Try switching out the ham for turkey or roast beef – both options offer different levels of satisfaction!
Ingredients
Ham delights are an easy, crowd-pleasing appetizer to serve at any casual gathering. These treats consist of soft, fluffy buns (such as King’s Hawaiian original sweet rolls) topped with deli ham and Swiss cheese before being baked into an irresistibly flavorful treat! What sets these treats apart, however, is the tangy butter sauce made up of Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds which adds an unforgettable flair that’ll have guests asking for more.
To prepare, divide the rolls lengthwise and spread each side with mayonnaise. Next, layer the bottoms with slices of ham and Swiss; replace tops; spread butter mixture evenly on ham and Swiss; cover with foil when serving.
Use deli ham and melty cheese such as Swiss, provolone or Havarti for these sliders – turkey, roast beef or pepperoni are great additions too. Prepare these ahead of time before popping them in the oven right before guests arrive! These tasty snacks make great appetizers.
Cook Time
Ham delights are delicious little sliders made with ham and cheese that are doused with a buttery sauce before baking until hot, toasted and full of melting ham and cheese oozing out. Perfect for parties, game day events and potlucks alike!
Preheat the oven to 350degF and spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray, cutting rolls in half horizontally through their centers to expose one side. Spread Dijon mustard onto one half, top it off with layers of ham and Swiss cheese, top them back up again, and brush both sides with butter mixture!
Make this sandwich with any kind of deli ham you have on hand, but the sweet Hawaiian king rolls add an incredible twist. Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce add a deliciously tart note, while poppy seeds add texture. Use any variety of cheese you prefer such as provolone, cheddar or Havarti (though Swiss is traditionally recommended).
Serve
Ham delights are an irresistibly delicious appetizer that are easy to prepare in advance, making them ideal for tailgates, girls’ nights, and parties. Their combination of sweet rolls with salty deli ham and Swiss cheese, all drizzled in sweet buttery sauce is irresistible!
To create these ham sandwiches, begin by spreading mayonnaise mixture on both cut sides of each dinner roll and placing its bottom half in a baking dish with its bottom pressed closely against one another. On top of each bottom roll is placed one slice of ham followed by Swiss cheese slices, and finally its tops brushed with butter mixture before being placed back together on top of its original rolls.
The butter mixture features melted butter, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and poppy seeds – as well as an additional touch of sweetness from brown sugar – along with an abundance of poppy seeds which cling to the tops of rolls when baked, adding subtle crunch that pairs beautifully with both the ham and cheese components.
