Birthdays are a super special event in our house or at least we try to make sure they are :0). While working on the plan for this year's upcoming birthdays of our soon to be 4 and 2 year olds, I am reminded of last year's parties. The almost 3 year old (at the time) was finally able to have an opinion about her party theme and chose a monster party which turned out to be a blast! And since our littlest was too young to decide for herself, we chose a luau theme which was perfect for her late June birthday. The hit of the luau were these incredibly delicious ham and cheese sliders on Hawaiian rolls! I had first discovered them at our niece's birthday and they were so good I knew they would make the perfect addition to our luau. I'm pretty sure I could eat an entire pan of these myself so beware ;0).
Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders
1- 12 pack King's Original Hawaiian Sweet Dinner Rolls
1 lb. Deli Ham
1 lb. Swiss cheese (thinly sliced)
1 stick of butter
1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1 1/2 tsp dried minced onion
Poppy seeds
You can leave rolls intact but slice through the middle. Layer with cheese, ham, and more cheese. Top with roll tops. Place rolls in a 9x13 pan. Mix butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and onion in a small saucepan until butter is melted. Pour over tops of rolls. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. You can refrigerate a few hours, overnight, or not at all (I usually go for not at all as I want them now but for the party I did them before hand and refrigerated them until I was ready). Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown and cheese is melted (if tops are browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil until cheese is melted). Serve warm.
Be on the lookout for more on this year's parties: a Superhero party for our eldest Super Girl and either an owl or Elmo party for the youngest :0) I've included a few pictures below of our monster party and luau for fun. Enjoy the sliders!

These are so lovely birthday party pictures. The birthdays are very special in our family too. We always celebrate birthdays so grandly at the popular party venues. Now we are making plans for the Chicago trip for our daughter’s birthday celebrations.
