Chopped Ham Rolls
Chopped Ham Rolls are flavorful, savory sandwiches featuring a rich mixture of ham, Swiss cheese, and a mustard-based sauce. Perfect for quick lunches, picnics, or casual gatherings, they offer a delightful blend of creamy, tangy, and hearty flavors that appeal to all ages.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and add all ingredients except the ham and cheese. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
- Add chopped ham to the mixture and heat through.
- Remove from heat and stir in chopped Swiss cheese until melted and well combined.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of heavy cream to the butter mixture. If you don't have Swiss cheese, Gruyère or even cheddar can work as a substitute. Consider adding some diced bell peppers or jalapeños for extra flavor. For a more substantial bite, use thicker sliced ham or even smoked ham.
Serving Suggestions
These chopped ham rolls are perfect for parties or as a hearty snack. Serve them alongside a fresh salad like Favorite Broccoli Salad or with some pickles for a nice crunch. They also pair well with a warm bowl of soup or as an appetizer at gatherings. For a more filling meal, consider serving them with fries.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chopped ham rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through, or microwave for 1-2 minutes, but be cautious not to overheat, which can dry them out.
