Delicious ham and cheese finger rolls feature savory ham, Swiss cheese, and a flavorful mustard-onion mixture, perfect for entertaining or satisfying a hearty snack craving.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook margarine, minced onion, Grey Poupon mustard, poppy seed, and Worcestershire sauce together until bubbly.
- Keep the mixture warm while slicing the dinner rolls in half lengthwise.
- Spread both sides of the rolls with the melted mixture.
- Add slices of ham on the bottom half of each roll.
- Spread shredded Swiss cheese over the ham.
- Place the top half of the rolls on top and place in an aluminum pan.
- Cover with foil and heat until the cheese is melted, approximately 15 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra kick, consider adding a touch of cayenne pepper or garlic powder to the melted margarine mixture. If you're out of Swiss cheese, Gruyère makes an excellent substitute. Feel free to use whole grain rolls for a healthier option, or try adding a slice of tomato for freshness. These finger rolls are a great appetizer for gatherings and can be easily doubled for larger parties.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Ham And Cheese Finger Rolls warm, garnished with chopped fresh herbs for a pop of color. They pair beautifully with a light salad or some crunchy vegetable sticks for a balanced meal. For a complete spread, consider including sides like potato chips or a tangy coleslaw to complement the richness of the rolls.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through and the cheese is melty again. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the rolls soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! While Swiss cheese is traditional, you can substitute it with cheddar, provolone, or even mozzarella for a different flavor profile. Just ensure the cheese melts well, as that adds to the overall texture of the rolls.
How can I make these rolls ahead of time?
You can prepare the rolls up to the assembly stage, then cover and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, simply bake them straight from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure they're heated through.
Can I make these vegetarian?
Yes! For a vegetarian version, replace the ham with a mix of sautéed mushrooms and spinach or your favorite roasted vegetables. You can also add extra cheese to enhance the flavor and texture.
