Pineapple Ham and Cheese Sliders

Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom half in the pan. 

Evenly distribute and lay the ham over the bottom of the rolls; set aside.

Optionally, heat a grill pan or cast iron pan over medium high heat.*** (See Notes)

To a small bowl, add the 2 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. 

Brush the marinade over the pineapple slices and optionally place them in the hot pan. Or simply add them over the top of the ham on the rolls. Reserve the remaining marinade.

Grill the pineapple for approximately 1 minute per side, or until it has grill marks.

Cut the rings in half, or as needed, and lay them over the ham.

Evenly distribute and layer the cheese over the pineapple.

Place the remaining half of the of the top rolls over the pineapple. 

Add the melted butter and parsley to the reserved marinade. 

Brush this buttery marinade mixture over the tops of the rolls.

Tent a piece of aluminum foil over the rolls and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted. 

Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until lightly golden browned. Keep an eye on them. Serve the sliders immediately warm and fresh. Extra sliders will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days, reheat gently in a toaster oven or microwave.
