📝 Instructions

10 steps
1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

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.

3

Layer the sliced ham evenly over the rolls, followed by the Swiss cheese. Spread the crushed pineapple evenly over the cheese.

4

Place the top layer of rolls over the pineapple to complete the sandwiches.

5

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.

6

Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls.

7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

8

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.

9

Remove from the oven and let the Luau Minis cool slightly before cutting them into individual sandwiches.

10

Serve warm and enjoy your tropical Luau Minis!
