INGREDIENTS IN PINEAPPLE HAM SLIDERS

Rolls: For the base of these tasty sandwiches, you will need 12 Hawaiian rolls (16 oz package). Hawaiian buns work great with this recipe but any slider bun will work too!

Mayonnaise: A little bit of mayonnaise adds some flavor and moisture to the sliders. If you don’t like mayonnaise, you can use butter or ranch dressing, or leave it off altogether.

Ham: Thinly sliced deli ham works best, but you can use leftover ham slices if you have them.

Mozzarella cheese: Slices of mozzarella cheese pair so well with the ham, but you can use any kind of cheese. Swiss works great too!

Pineapple rings: You can use fresh pineapple if you’d like, but the rings straight out of the can work perfectly! Make sure to pat the pineapple with a paper towel to remove the extra moisture before adding them to the sliders.

Butter: A little bit of melted butter adds flavor to the top and helps the top to crisp up a little bit too.

Dried onion: Add some dried onion to the melted butter for some extra flavor. If you don’t like chunks of onions, you can use onion powder instead.

Poppy seeds: Poppy seeds also make a fun addition to the sliders. They add a little crunch and flavor on top.

Parsley: Just a little bit of fresh parsley sprinkled on top makes the sliders a little fancier before serving. Totally optional. Especially if your kids are like mine and aren’t a fan of anything green!

HOW TO MAKE PINEAPPLE HAM SLIDERS

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.

Slice your sheet of Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise and place the bottom half into your baking dish. Spread mayonnaise evenly across the bottom rolls.

Next, add a layer of the sliced deli ham.

Place the mozzarella cheese over the ham.

Pat pineapple rings dry with paper towels and place on top of the cheese.

Place the top bun layer back onto the sliders.

Mix onion and poppy seed in melted butter.

Mix together the melted butter, dried onion, and poppy seeds.

Brush melted butter mixture on top of rolls.

Generously brush the butter mixture across the tops of the slider buns.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the sliders are cooked through and the cheese is melted.

Remove foil and bake sliders for another 5-8 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.

Garnish the tops of the warm sliders with the fresh minced parsley and serve immediately.
