Ingredients
Instructions
- Split the rolls in half and brush with a mixture of melted butter, poppy seeds, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Layer shaved ham and Swiss cheese inside the rolls.
- Place the assembled rolls in a baking dish and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until heated through and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using honey mustard instead of regular mustard. You can also substitute the Swiss cheese with cheddar or provolone for a different taste. If you're short on time, pre-sliced ham and cheese can speed up assembly. To enhance the filling, add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a more complex flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions
These stuffed ham rolls make a fantastic appetizer or party snack. Serve them with a side of coleslaw or a fresh Layered Salad (Makes 10 To 12 Servings) for a complete meal. They also pair well with a light soup or salad, making them versatile for any occasion.

Leftover stuffed ham rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. This will help maintain their crispy texture.
