Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding sliced pickles or jalapeños to the sandwiches. If you're looking for a lighter option, substitute turkey for the ham. You can also mix in some shredded lettuce or fresh herbs to add freshness. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a bit of honey to the mustard-mayo mixture for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
These little burgers make a perfect appetizer for gatherings or a quick weeknight meal. Serve them alongside Peggy'S Macaroni Salad for a delicious side. You can also pair them with a simple green salad or some crunchy vegetable sticks for a balanced meal. They're great for parties and game days, offering a tasty finger food option.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sandwiches in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help keep the bread from becoming soggy and ensure the cheese melts nicely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these burgers ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the sandwiches and store them in the refrigerator for up to a day before baking. Just cover them tightly with foil or plastic wrap to prevent drying out. When ready to serve, bake them as directed for a quick and easy meal.
What kind of cheese works best for these burgers?
While the recipe calls for standard cheese slices, you can use any cheese that melts well. Swiss, cheddar, or provolone are excellent choices. For a more gourmet touch, try fontina or gouda to elevate the flavor profile of your little burgers.
Can I use different types of rolls?
Absolutely! While heat and serve dinner rolls are convenient, you can use slider buns, mini bagels, or even pita pockets for a fun twist. Just ensure that they are soft enough to hold the fillings without falling apart.
