Aloha Hawaiian Ham Sliders

By 5 Comments

Hawaiian ham sliders are delicious mini sandwiches, filled with teriyaki glazed ham, pineapple, bacon, and cheese.
These melt-in-your-mouth ham sliders explode with flavor, a sweet and savory combination inspired by my favorite flavors of the Hawaiian Islands.  This recipe makes a great appetizer and can easily be doubled for a larger group.  Believe me, you will want to double them.  They won’t last long!

 I recommend using a good-quality teriyaki sauce, like the one pictured here.
Kona Coast Island Teriyaki sauce
Make sure that you pre-slice your rolls, so the sliders will be easier to separate when serving.  Top rolls with sliced ham, pineapple and bacon.  Easy breezy.

After adding the shredded cheese, place bun tops on sliders and pour the warm, prepared sauce on top.
