- Slice the rolls and lay them open on a surface.
- Brush the inside of each roll with the sauce mixture.
- Place a piece of ham on one side and a slice of Swiss cheese on the other side of each roll.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using garlic powder or smoked paprika in the sauce mixture. If you prefer a lighter option, you can swap margarine for olive oil or use low-fat cheese. To add a bit of crunch, try adding finely chopped bell peppers or pickles. These rolls can also be customized by using turkey or chicken instead of ham for a different taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Ham-Cheese Party Rolls warm, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color. They pair beautifully with a side of Microwave Herbed Corn-On-The-Cob for a delightful meal or snack. These rolls are perfect for game day, picnics, or as appetizers at gatherings. Consider adding a fresh garden salad to round out the meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds, but the oven method will retain the crispiness of the rolls.

Absolutely! Assemble the rolls, brush them with the sauce mixture, but do not bake them. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
