Ham And Swiss Sandwiches
Savory ham and Swiss cheese sandwiches baked with a flavorful butter and mustard mixture, perfect for casual gatherings or a comforting lunch option.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the finger rolls in half by separating the tops from the bottoms, keeping all the rolls connected.
- Layer the bottom halves of the rolls with ham and Swiss cheese, then replace the tops of the rolls in the pan.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, dry onions, and mustard to make the sauce.
- Pour the mixture over the assembled sandwiches, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes until hot and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using honey mustard instead of regular mustard. You can also swap out the Swiss cheese for cheddar or provolone if preferred. If you want a crunchier texture, add some shredded lettuce or sliced pickles inside the sandwich. To make the sandwiches ahead of time, prepare them up to the baking step, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
Serving Suggestions
These Ham and Swiss Sandwiches are perfect for game day or casual gatherings. Serve them alongside a crisp salad or some homemade potato chips for a well-rounded meal. They pair beautifully with a light beer or a refreshing iced tea. For a more substantial meal, consider serving them with a side of soup, like a classic tomato or a hearty chili.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual sandwiches for about 30-60 seconds, but this may make the bread a bit soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat?
Absolutely! If you prefer turkey or even roast beef, feel free to substitute the ham. Each meat will give a unique flavor to the sandwiches. Just ensure the meat is thinly sliced for even layering.
Can I make these sandwiches in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the sandwiches up to the baking step and then cover them tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate them overnight and bake when ready to serve. This makes them a great option for meal prepping or for parties.
What if I don't have finger rolls?
If finger rolls are unavailable, you can use slider buns or even regular sandwich bread. Just cut the bread into smaller portions to mimic the finger rolls, and layer the ingredients as instructed. This recipe is versatile and works well with various bread types.
