  • 1/2 lb. whipped butter
  • 3 Tbsp. mustard
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 lb. sliced ham
  • 1/3 lb. Swiss cheese

Tips & Substitutions

For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of garlic powder or substituting Dijon mustard for regular mustard. If you can't find Pepperidge Farm rolls, any soft dinner rolls will work. You can also swap Swiss cheese with cheddar or provolone for a different taste. Remember to finely chop the onion to ensure even distribution in the spread.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the rolls in advance and assemble them. Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they are cold from the fridge.

What can I substitute for ham?

If you're looking for alternatives to ham, try using turkey or chicken deli meat for a lighter option. For a vegetarian twist, consider roasted vegetables or a spread made from Butter Beans to create a filling without meat.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Absolutely! Wrap the leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before freezing. They should last up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed.
