Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend the oleo, prepared mustard, finely chopped onion, and parsley flakes to create a spread.
- Spread the mixture on sandwich buns.
- Fill each bun with chipped ham and Swiss cheese slices.
- Wrap the sandwiches in foil.
- Bake in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 15 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier spread, consider adding a bit of mayonnaise or sour cream to the oleo mixture. If you prefer a bit of heat, swap in Dijon mustard for prepared mustard. You can also use deli turkey or chicken as a substitute for chipped ham to create a lighter sandwich. Fresh parsley can replace parsley flakes for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These sandwiches are perfect for a picnic or casual lunch. Serve them alongside a light salad or some crunchy carrot sticks for a refreshing contrast. They also pair beautifully with a bowl of soup, such as a classic tomato or a hearty Bourch, making for a comforting meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and place them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This method keeps the bread from getting soggy while ensuring the cheese melts perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these sandwiches ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sandwiches and wrap them in foil, then refrigerate them. When ready to serve, just bake them as directed. This makes them a great option for meal prep or gatherings.
What can I use instead of Swiss cheese?
If you're not a fan of Swiss cheese, you can substitute it with provolone or gouda for a different flavor profile. Both cheeses melt well and will complement the ham nicely.
Can I grill these sandwiches instead of baking?
Absolutely! If you prefer a grilled version, heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and grill the sandwiches on both sides until golden brown and the cheese is melted. This adds a delicious crispy texture.
