BAKED HAWAIIAN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place a rack into lower half of oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange bottom halves of Hawaiian rolls on a baking sheet. Place a half slice each of ham, Swiss cheese, smoked turkey, and provolone cheese onto each roll bottom. Place top halves onto each bottom to make sandwiches.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat and stir in sugar, dried onion flakes, poppy seeds, and honey mustard until mixture is smoothly combined, creamy, and the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes; brush over the tops of each sandwich.
• Bake sandwiches on the preheated oven's lower rack until tops are golden brown and fillings are hot, about 15 minutes.

HAWAIIAN BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the bananas into a small glass baking dish. Stir together the brown sugar, juice, and sherry; pour over the bananas, then sprinkle with nutmeg. Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Stir in chopped nuts, and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Pour over the banana mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes until the bananas are tender, and have become lightly glazed.

BAKED HAWAII

Steps:

• Process cookies into fine crumbs in a food processor, about 45 seconds; you will need 1 cup crumbs. Line a 2-quart straight-sided plastic pitcher with plastic wrap, leaving a 6-inch overhang; chill in freezer. Let sorbets soften slightly in refrigerator.
• Layer sorbets into pitcher 1 pint at a time, pressing down with a ladle. Smooth each layer with a rubber spatula, and sprinkle with 1/4-cup cookie crumbs. Continue layering until pitcher is full. Cover; freeze overnight.
• Remove pitcher from freezer. Briefly run warm water over outside of pitcher to loosen sorbet. Using edges of plastic wrap, lift sorbet out of the pitcher; invert molded sorbet onto a freezer-safe serving platter, and remove the plastic wrap. Return to freezer.
• Combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan, stirring gently with a metal spoon. Cover, and cook over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, 5 to 6 minutes. Uncover, and place a candy thermometer in syrup. Raise heat to high; boil rapidly until temperature reaches 248 degrees.(firm-ball stage), 1 to 2 minutes.
• While sugar is heating, beat egg whites in bowl of an electric mixer with whisk attachment at low speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually increase speed to medium high, and beat until soft peaks begin to form, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and add hot syrup in a steady stream. Increase speed to medium high, and continue beating until whites are shiny, stiff, and hold a peak, about 2 minutes. Do not overbeat. Increase speed to high, add vanilla, and beat for 15 seconds more. Transfer to another bowl, and let cool for about 5 minutes, folding gently 1 or 2 times.
• Remove sorbet from freezer. Working quickly, cover entire surface with meringue. Freeze for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• When ready to serve dessert, place strips of aluminum foil around base of sorbet to protect serving platter. Using a kitchen torch, brown meringue all over. Remove aluminum strips, and drizzle blue curacao around base, if desired.
