Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp. poppy seed
  • 1 1/2 tsp. onion flakes
  • Mrs. Bairds or Sunbeam mini party rolls
  • 1 can Hormel chopped ham
  • 1 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • Swiss cheese slices

Instructions

  1. Split the mini rolls in half.
  2. Spread Hormel chopped ham over the bottom half of each roll.
  3. Lay Swiss cheese slices over the ham.
  4. Put the top halves of the rolls back on.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, try using garlic herb butter instead of plain butter. You can substitute the chopped ham with shredded rotisserie chicken or even a vegetarian option like hummus for a different twist. If you can't find mini rolls, cut regular sandwich bread into quarters. Adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan on top before baking enhances the overall flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These mini party sandwiches are perfect for game day or any gathering. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or a platter of vegetables and dip for a well-rounded meal. They pair beautifully with Easy Pork Chops And Gravy for a heartier option. For a complete spread, consider adding chips or a cheese board to complement the flavors.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melty. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the bread soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these sandwiches ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sandwiches a few hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Just pour the butter mixture over them right before baking. This allows the flavors to meld, resulting in even tastier sandwiches.

What can I use instead of Swiss cheese?

If you don't have Swiss cheese, you can use provolone, gouda, or even cheddar for a different flavor profile. Each cheese will bring its unique taste, so feel free to experiment based on your preference.

Are these sandwiches suitable for freezing?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled sandwiches before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as directed. This makes for an easy, make-ahead option for entertaining.
