Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Without separating the rolls, slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom layer in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer the sliced ham evenly over the rolls, followed by the Swiss cheese. Spread the crushed pineapple evenly over the cheese.
Place the top layer of rolls over the pineapple to complete the sandwiches.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds until well combined.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the oven and let the Luau Minis cool slightly before cutting them into individual sandwiches.
Serve warm and enjoy your tropical Luau Minis!
