Time 44m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 (12 count) package Hawaiian sweet rolls
1 (6 ounce) package thinly sliced deli ham
¾ pound shredded Swiss cheese
½ cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dried minced onion
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
Slice attached rolls in half widthwise with a serrated knife, keeping rolls connected, into a bottom and top 'slab.' Place bottom slab in the prepared pan.
Layer about half the ham evenly over the bottom slab of rolls. Layer Swiss cheese evenly on top, and arrange remaining ham over the cheese. Cover with the top slab.
Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Add mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, onion, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
Pour butter mixture evenly and slowly over the rolls. Spread over the tops using a spatula; some of the mixture will pool at the base of the rolls. Cover with aluminum foil and let stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted, about 20 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until browned as desired, 3 to 5 minutes more. Slice into individual sliders.

OVEN HOT HAM & CHEESE SANDWICHES

Oven Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwiches image

Made these inspired by Pioneer Woman and they were soooo yummy. Love that you can make so many variations and I think the #1 trick is them being in the oven and all that yumminess melting together! Small Hawaiian rolls would also work really well with these. The mayonnaise can be substituted for melted butter as well.

Tips:

Choose a high-quality ham for the best flavor. A spiral-cut ham is a good option because it is easy to slice and serve.
Use a variety of cheeses to create a flavorful sandwich. A combination of Swiss, cheddar, and provolone is a classic choice, but you can also use mozzarella, fontina, or Gruyère.
Slice the ham and cheese thinly so that they melt easily. You can also use a meat slicer to get even slices.
Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the bread before adding the ham and cheese. This will help to hold the sandwich together and make it more flavorful.
Bake the sandwich in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can also grill the sandwich if you prefer.
Serve the sandwich hot with your favorite sides, such as potato chips, coleslaw, or fruit salad.
