Ham Yum Yums
Ham Yum Yums are savory, cheesy sandwiches with a buttery, seasoned topping, perfect for parties or casual gatherings, offering rich flavors of ham and mozzarella in a warm roll.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt margarine and combine with poppy seed, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard, and onion flakes.
- Slice open the rolls.
- Place generous slices of ham and mozzarella cheese on the open rolls.
- Replace the tops of the rolls.
- Pour the margarine mixture over the assembled rolls.
- Cover and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until warm and cheese is melted.
- Cut apart and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, you can substitute the peppered ham with honey or smoked ham. If you prefer a lighter option, turkey or chicken can work well too. Instead of mozzarella, try provolone or cheddar cheese for a different taste. Make sure to generously coat the rolls with the margarine mixture to ensure they are flavorful and moist. Consider adding a dash of garlic powder for an extra kick.
Serving Suggestions
These Ham Yum Yums are perfect as a party appetizer or a quick lunch. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or with a side of Smothered Green Cabbage for a more filling meal. They also pair beautifully with Mother'S Gluck, adding a delightful balance of flavors. Consider adding pickles or a zesty dipping sauce to enhance your serving experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the rolls on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain the softness of the rolls and melt the cheese again nicely.
