Ham Party Rolls
Ham Party Rolls are savory, cheesy mini sandwiches filled with ham and Swiss cheese, topped with a buttery mustard glaze, perfect for parties and casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put small pieces of ham and Swiss cheese into sliced rolls.
- Combine melted margarine, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, poppy seed, and onion flakes to make the topping mixture.
- Spread the mixture on the inside of each roll.
- Place the filled rolls in pans.
- Brush remaining mixture over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, try adding a dash of garlic powder or swap the Swiss cheese for your favorite cheese like cheddar. If you want a spicier kick, consider using spicy mustard instead of regular. Ensure the margarine is fully melted to blend well with the other topping ingredients. You can even make these rolls ahead of time and bake them just before serving for a fresh, warm treat.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful rolls with a side of pickles or a light salad to balance the richness. They pair wonderfully with a bowl of Kielbasa Bean Soup for a comforting meal. Consider serving them at parties, game days, or family gatherings as a hearty finger food that everyone will enjoy.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Ham Party Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This helps maintain their softness and prevents them from becoming dry.
