Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix instant onions, mustard, poppy seed, and butter in a cereal bowl.
- Spread the mixture on the tops of buns.
- Layer baked ham or chipped, chopped ham on the bottom buns.
- Fold Swiss cheese over the ham.
- Wrap the sandwiches in foil and heat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting the butter with garlic-infused oil or using a blend of fresh herbs. If you don't have poppy seeds, sesame seeds can be a great alternative. Adjust the mustard type for a spicier kick or a milder flavor depending on your preference. This mixture also works well as a spread for other sandwiches, making it versatile for various American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these sandwiches with a side of crispy potato chips or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. They also pair well with a light dip or dressing. For a fun twist, serve alongside Vivien'S Lime Jello-Vegetable Salad for a colorful and refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, unwrap the foil and place the sandwiches in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the bread soggy.

Absolutely! While Swiss cheese is traditional, you can substitute it with provolone, cheddar, or even a pepper jack for a spicy kick. Each cheese will add a unique flavor profile to the sandwich, allowing for customization based on your taste preferences.
Can this sandwich be made ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sandwiches in advance and wrap them in foil. Keep them in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake them. This is a great option for meal prep or for making a quick dinner after a busy day, ensuring you can enjoy them fresh out of the oven.
What type of buns work best for this recipe?
Soft sandwich rolls or brioche buns are ideal for this recipe as they hold up well to the filling and baking process. You can also use whole grain or ciabatta rolls for a healthier twist. Choose a bun that complements the flavors of the game meat and toppings.
