HAM AND CHEESE BUNS
These savory rolls start with a tender yeast dough that gets studded with nutty Gruyere, caramelized leeks and smoky ham. They are sliced and baked to a golden finish-a great addition to any celebratory spread. They also rewarm nicely.

Steps:
- For the dough: Warm the milk and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over low heat until it is about 100 degrees F (but no more than 110 degrees). Remove the saucepan from the heat, and sprinkle the yeast over the liquid. Sprinkle a pinch of the sugar over the top, and set aside without stirring until foamy, about 5 minutes. Then whisk in the butter and egg yolk.
- Whisk together the flour, remaining sugar and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and stir in the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until you've made a thick, slightly sticky dough. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface, and knead until soft and elastic, about 6 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball.
- Brush the inside of a large bowl with butter. Put the dough ball in the buttered bowl, turning to coat lightly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, trace a circle the size of the dough ball on the plastic and note the time. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Turn the dough out of the bowl, and knead briefly to release excess air; re-form the dough into a ball, and return it to the bowl. Lightly butter a large piece of plastic wrap, and lay it on the dough. Cover the entire bowl tightly with the rest of the plastic, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight to let the dough proof.
- For the filling: Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and just beginning to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the leeks with the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and toasted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the wine and 1/4 cup water, and let the mixture thicken, whisking constantly, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the Gruyere, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer the filling to a medium bowl, and let cool completely. (The filling will firm up a bit, but if it's too warm, it will be difficult to form the rolls.)
- For the rolls: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with the 2 tablespoons softened butter. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface, and press it flat. Roll it into a 10-by-18-inch rectangle, with 1 long edge facing you. Spread the cooled filling evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border on the side opposite you. Sprinkle the ham over the filling. Starting from the side facing you, roll the dough up into a tight roll. Lightly brush the 1-inch border with water, and continue rolling to seal the roll. Fold the ends in just a bit, and if any spots look thicker than others, even out the roll with your hands.
- Cut the roll every 1 1/2 inches with a serrated knife, to make 12 pinwheel slices. Place the slices flat in the prepared pan (put the end pieces cut-side up), spacing them 1 inch apart. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap. Set in a warm place to rise until the slices double in size with no gaps in between, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake the buns until they're golden brown and the tops spring back when pressed lightly, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Cut through dinner rolls lengthwise without taking them apart and place the bottom half in a greased 9x13-inch pan. Layer ham and cheese on bottom halves and cover with the top halves. Heat sauce ingredients together. Pour sauce over rolls. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes. If you like them crispier, take foil off the last 5 minutes. Note: You can make these with the rolls taken apart as well. Place them close together in the pan.
HAM BUNS
Jennifer Owens doesn't know where her mother, Frances, first found the recipe for these ham buns, but they have been a part of her life since childhood in Easley, S.C. It may have come from relatives in Tennessee, as a similar recipe appears as "Hallelujah Ham Loaves" in "Dinner on the Diner," a 1983 cookbook from the Junior League of Chattanooga. The warm appetizer has won fans wherever Ms. Owens goes. Her mother's original formula called for raw onions, but Ms. Owens now sautés them. Use good smoked ham, either holiday leftovers or from the deli counter. As the buns bake, the butter pools at the bottom, toasting up the base of these irresistible bite-size sandwiches.

Steps:
- Position racks in top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
- As the onion cooks, split each flat of rolls in half, running a bread knife parallel to the counter as you slice the still-connected rolls. Once the onion has finished cooking, remove from heat and set aside. Place two sheet pans in the oven, one on each rack, to heat while assembling the rolls.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mustard, poppy seeds and Worcestershire sauce. Add the remaining cup of butter and warm onion. Stir in cheese and ham until evenly combined.
- On a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to completely encase a flat of rolls, place one flat, and open like a book. Spread about a quarter of the ham mixture in an even layer over the bottom half of the rolls to the edges. Close the book, so to speak, laying the still-connected roll top over the ham-covered base. Wrap the rolls tightly with the foil, crimping the edges of the foil to enclose them. Repeat with the three other flats of party rolls.
- Divide the four packets between the two heated sheet pans. Bake until the cheese melts and rolls get toasty, 10 to 12 minutes. Unwrap and serve the flats on platters, encouraging diners to pull a bun from its brethren.
AUBERGE CHEDDAR CHEESE AND HAM BREAKFAST BUNS - MUFFINS
These are what the French call "cakes" - they are little savoury buns or muffins - and are always requested for breakfasts in the Auberge. They are delicious split and spread with herb and garlic cheese when warm - or serve them alongside hot soups, stews, chilli or casseroles! I have also made these with grated Gruyere cheese as well as Emmenthal....the trick is to use a mature and strong tasting cheese. I have suggested using smoked ham in this recipe - it just gives a wonderful extra flavour to these delicious buns/muffins. They freeze well and are easily reheated, if you have any left! We often have these for Christmas morning breakfast or brunch with the optional chives added, and then spread with smoked salmon butter - divine!

Steps:
- Pre-heat an oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 5.
- Grease a 12 hole muffin or bun tray/pan.
- Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper - but be careful not to over salt as the stock powder will contain salt.
- Stir in the ham and cheese, and chives if using, mix again.
- Add the egg, milk and olive oil - mix well - but do NOT over mix - just enough to combine the ingredients together. Adjust the consistency if too dry by adding a little more milk - the mixture should be a soft dropping consistency.
- Spoon mixture into the prepared muffin/bun tray/pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are well risen and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve whilst warm - delicious if spread with butter or soft cheese!
MARINATED HAM & SWISS BUNS APPETIZER
SOURCE PEGGY TROWBRIDGE. Plan on making a double batch for any party or occasion, especially Superbowl. Even guys ask for the recipe. Marinated ham and Swiss buns make a killer appetizer, and better yet, you can make them a couple of days in advance before baking. The cooking time does not include the overnight marination.

Steps:
- Line two 9 x 13-inch baking pans with non-stick foil or butter traditional pans.
- To prepare marinade, saute minced sweet onion in butter over low heat until onion is soft and translucent.
- Add poppy seeds, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and brown sugar.
- Stir until brown sugar is melted into the sauce.
- Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
- Set marinade aside.
- Slice the buns in half.
- Spread bottoms of buns with a thin layer of horseradish mayonnaise.
- Fold ham slices to fit the bottom of each bun.
- Repeat with Swiss cheese slices, folding to fit buns.
- Replace bun tops.
- Place ham and cheese buns into prepared baking pans.
- Pour marinade evenly over both pans of buns.
- Cover tightly with foil. Refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Bake marinated buns covered for 25 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Notes: Use pre-baked dinner rolls.
- If you make your own yeast dinner rolls, all the better.
- If you're on a budget, adjust this method to use large yeast hot dog rolls, cut into thirds (you may need to adjust the baking time).
- Horseradish mayonnaise is easy to make at home, but there are decent commercial varieties to use as a shortcut.
- You can use regular mayonnaise if you need to avoid horseradish.
- For the ham, I used a rosemary sun-dried tomato deli ham, but feel free to use your favorite.
- Just be sure it is sliced very thin and use a high-grade, low-moisture ham for best results.
- Yield: 24 appetizer servings.

Steps:
- 1. Let the cream cheese come to room temperature so it is easier to spread.
- 2. Use your favorite bread dough, enough for one loaf of bread and let it rise for about an hour. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- 3. Plan ahead. Prepare the ham and vegetables. I chop my ingredients small.
- 4. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin in a rectangular size on a cutting board, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 5. Brush melted butter over the dough, and then spread the softened cream cheese over the buttered dough.
- 6. Add the chopped ham to the dough, and press it down into the dough with your fingers.
- 7. Add the chopped broccoli. Press it down.
- 8. This is the cheese I used. You can use whatever you like. Sharp cheddar is wonderful. So is Monterey Jack and Pepper Jack. For a lighter Brunch Bun for a ladies luncheon, select Fontina or Gruyere cheese.
- 9. Add the cheese to the dough. Press it down.
- 10. Add the onions. Press down.
- 11. Add the Parmesan cheese to the dough and pat it down with your fingers. Now, roll it up into a long log. Start rolling it from the long side of the dough as depicted in the photo. Hold it firmly. It will be slightly lumpy. Slice it into 1 1/4 inch slices, as if you were making sweet rolls. Lift carefully with a spatula and place the slices on the parchment paper on the sheet pan. (Lay the slices down)
- 12. Place the slices about 1 1/2 inches apart. Let the slices rise again for about 40 minutes.
- 13. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown on the tops and the bottoms of the buns. Brush warm tops with butter and sprinkle with sea salt. This recipe makes about 16 Brunch Buns.
- 14. Here is how it looks.
- 15. Enjoy!
- 16. Wrap the cooked buns individually in Saran Wrap and place in a container for the fridge.
- 17. You can also store these buns in the freezer. Microwave to thaw.
Tips:
- To ensure the buns are perfectly cooked, insert a toothpick into the center of a bun. If it comes out clean, the buns are done. Otherwise, return them to the oven for a few more minutes.
- If you don't have a meat grinder, you can finely chop the ham by hand. Just make sure it is very finely chopped so that it distributes evenly throughout the dough.
- You can use any type of cheese you like for the filling. Some popular options include cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss.
- If you are short on time, you can use store-bought pizza dough instead of making your own.
- These buns can be served warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for a quick and easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Conclusion:
Ham buns are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy meal, and they can also be dressed up for a special occasion.
