Party Sandwiches
Party Sandwiches are savory, crowd-pleasing finger foods featuring a flavorful ham and Swiss cheese filling, enhanced with mustard, Worcestershire, and poppy seeds. Perfect for gatherings and potlucks, they offer a delightful combination of creamy, tangy, and crunchy textures in every bite.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the soft margarine, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, and poppy seed together.
- Add chopped ham and grated Swiss cheese to the mixture and stir well.
- Split the party rolls and fill each with the ham and cheese mixture.
- Wrap the filled rolls in foil.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes until heated through and slightly golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using Dijon mustard instead of regular mustard. You can substitute the ham with turkey or chicken for a lighter option. If you're short on time, pre-sliced deli meats work well. To keep the rolls from getting soggy, ensure the mixture is not overly wet before filling. These sandwiches can also be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
Serving Suggestions
These party sandwiches are perfect for gatherings, and pair beautifully with Alessa'S Cornbread Salad for a complete meal. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or a platter of Cheese Fries for a delightful spread. For drinks, consider serving a light beer or sparkling lemonade to complement the savory flavors of the sandwiches.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover sandwiches should be wrapped tightly in foil or placed in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sandwiches (still wrapped in foil) in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through. This helps maintain their texture and flavor.
