Late Sandwich Supper
A hearty and cheesy ham sandwich baked with flavorful butter, onion, garlic salt, parsley, and poppy seeds, perfect for a satisfying lunch or casual dinner.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix soft butter, chopped onion, garlic salt, parsley, and poppy seed together.
- Spread the butter mixture on the cut sides of the hamburger buns.
- Divide shaved ham and Swiss cheese slices among the buns.
- Wrap each assembled sandwich in foil.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a bit of Dijon mustard to the butter mixture. If Swiss cheese isn't available, Gruyère or even provolone can make a great substitute. You can also switch out the ham for turkey or roast beef to cater to different tastes. This recipe is perfect for a Busy Day Meal, as it can be prepped in advance.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these sandwiches with a side of chips or a fresh salad for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with Baked Beans(With Meat) for a hearty supper. For a lightener touch, a Surprising Salad can balance the richness of the sandwiches. Consider offering pickles or a tangy coleslaw on the side.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover sandwiches can be tightly wrapped in foil and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the foil-wrapped sandwiches in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This keeps the buns soft while melting the cheese nicely.
