Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Onion

    Slice the medium onion into thin rings. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline for even slices.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Spread a layer of pesto on the bottom half of each roll. On top of the pesto, layer sliced ham evenly, followed by a generous amount of shredded gouda cheese, and then the onion rings.

  4. 4

    Top the Sandwiches

    Spread garlic aioli on the cut side of the top halves of the rolls. Place the top halves over the assembled sandwiches.

  5. 5

    Bake the Sandwiches

    Arrange the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Cut each sandwich in half and serve warm.
