Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor kick, consider adding a layer of mustard on the bottom of the rolls before layering the cheese and ham. If you don't have Tatum rolls, Hawaiian rolls can be a delightful alternative. For a twist, try swapping the mozzarella for provolone cheese or adding spinach for a fresh touch. Make sure to let the butter mixture soak in before baking for optimal flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these appetizers ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sandwiches and pour the butter mixture over them a few hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Just remember to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they're coming straight from the fridge.
What can I substitute for the ham?
If you're looking for a different protein, turkey or chicken can work well in this recipe. For a vegetarian option, consider using roasted vegetables or a savory mushroom filling instead of ham, making it suitable for various dietary preferences.
How can I make these appetizers spicier?
To add some heat, mix in a teaspoon of hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes into the butter mixture. Alternatively, you could use pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella for a spicy kick. This will elevate the flavor and cater to those who enjoy a bit of spice.
