Hawaiian Roll Sandwiches Recipe

Ingredients

12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
200g halal deli turkey or chicken slices
6 slices of halal cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup mustard (optional)
1/4 cup halal butter, melted
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Lettuce leaves (optional)
Tomato slices (optional)
Pickles (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice the entire pack of Hawaiian rolls in half, keeping the rolls connected, so you end up with a top and bottom piece.
Spread the mayonnaise (and mustard if you’re using it) evenly on the bottom half of the rolls.
Place the halal turkey or chicken slices evenly over the bottom half. Then, layer the cheese slices on top of the meat. You can add lettuce, tomato, and pickles for extra crunch and flavor if you like.
Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls back on.
Brush the melted halal butter on the tops of the rolls, making sure each one is nicely coated. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the buttered tops for a tasty touch.
Place the sandwiches in the oven for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then slice along the pre-cut lines of the rolls. Serve warm and enjoy!

How To Serve Hawaiian Roll Sandwiches?

Hawaiian roll sandwiches are best served warm, right after baking.

The soft, sweet rolls with melted cheese and delicious fillings make them perfect for lunch, dinner, or as a snack.

You can serve them as a main dish with a side of salad or chips, or as appetizers for parties.

For added flavor, try serving them with dipping sauces like ranch, mustard, or barbecue sauce.

How To Store Hawaiian Roll Sandwiches?

If you have leftovers, store the sandwiches in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap or foil.

Keep them in the refrigerator, and they’ll stay fresh for about 2–3 days.

When you’re ready to eat them again, just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or reheat them in the oven until they’re warm.

Can You Freeze Hawaiian Roll Sandwiches?

They can last up to 2 months in the freezer. When you want to eat them, thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours and reheat in the oven until warm and crispy.

Expert Tips For The Best Hawaiian Roll Sandwiches

Don’t overfill: Less is more! Don’t pack too many ingredients inside the rolls, as it could make them soggy.
Toast the tops: For an extra crispy bite, brush the tops with melted butter and bake them until golden brown.
Customize fillings: Add veggies like spinach or avocado for extra nutrients, or spice it up with halal pepperoni or jalapeños.
Perfect for parties: Prepare them in advance, then bake right before your guests arrive. This keeps them fresh and makes hosting easier!
