How to Make Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders

*Try to avoid eating all of your Hawaiian Rolls before you begin this recipe

Evenly slice off the top of the Hawaiian rolls and set it aside.
Place the bottom half of the rolls in a baking pan.
Layer the ham across the bottom half of the rolls. Then place the pineapple rings on top of the ham. Next, add on the sharp Swiss cheese.
Place the top half of the rolls on top of the ham, pineapple, and cheese.
Melt the butter for the mixture that you pour on top of the sliders. In a bowl whisk together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, onion powder, and sesame seeds.
Drizzle the mixture over the rolls. Next, brush the rolls with the mixture so that it evenly covers them.
Uncover and cook for two additional minutes to lightly brown the tops of the rolls.
Garnish with 1/2 teaspoon of sesame seeds and chives.
