Agnes Party Rolls
Agnes Party Rolls are savory, flavorful sandwiches featuring melted cheese and ham inside soft dinner rolls, enriched with a buttery onion-mustard spread infused with poppy seeds and a hint of sweetness. Perfect for gatherings, these warm, cheesy bites are sure to please guests of all ages.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter, minced onions, prepared mustard, and sugar together in a saucepan.
- Split the dinner rolls and spread the mixture on both sides of each roll.
- Place a slice of thin sandwich ham and Swiss cheese inside each roll.
- Heat the rolls until the cheese melts and the filling is hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or using Dijon mustard instead of regular prepared mustard. If you don’t have poppy seeds, sesame seeds can be a tasty substitute. For a vegetarian option, replace the ham with sliced avocado or a vegetarian deli meat. These rolls can also be made ahead and baked just before serving for a fresh taste.
Serving Suggestions
These Agnes Party Rolls make for a delightful party appetizer or a satisfying lunch. Serve them alongside a fresh garden salad or a bowl of Creamy Hash Browns(Crock-Pot) for a complete meal. They also pair well with a light soup, such as tomato bisque, adding to their versatility. For a fun twist, serve with a variety of dipping sauces.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melty. Avoid the microwave, as it can make the rolls soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls and assemble them in advance. Just store them in the refrigerator without baking. When you're ready to serve, bake them for about 15 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted. This makes them a great option for parties.
What type of cheese works best for these rolls?
Swiss cheese is traditional, but feel free to experiment with other cheeses like provolone, cheddar, or even pepper jack for some spice. Each cheese will give a unique flavor profile to the rolls, so choose according to your preference.
Can I use a different type of bread?
Absolutely! While dinner rolls are ideal, you can use slider buns, mini bagels, or even croissants for a different texture. Just ensure that the bread can hold the fillings without becoming too soggy.
