Looking for an easy King’s Hawaiian Bread party appetizer? With cream cheese, crispy bacon, and the flavor punch of sun-dried tomatoes on delicious Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, this make-ahead appetizer will be a hit at your next gathering!
I really could not have been more excited when King’s Hawaiian Bread reached out and asked if I would create a recipe for their #SliderSunday campaign. I’ve been using King’s Hawaiian Bread since my high school parties! I couldn’t even count how many times I’ve made my Mini Muffulettas for game nights.
This King’s Hawaiian Bread party appetizer is perfect to make ahead because you can slice spread the filling on the rolls, place the rolls back in that signature orange container, and put them back in the fridge until your party. They stack well so you can even have two or three trays right on top of each other – perfect for parties!
These sliders are so delicious, I dare you to have just one. It can’t be done! This recipe easily doubles/triples/etc to feed a crowd. Feel free to add sliced cucumber or salami to these sliders, but they’re also perfectly delicious as is!
