Provided by christoph

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 package King's Hawaiian Rolls
1 pound deli ham
1 pound Swiss cheese
2 sticks butter
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 teaspoons poppy seeds
1 onion, diced

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized saucepan melt the butter and mix in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and onion. Simmer until the onions become translucent about 5 minutes. Cut the entire package of rolls in half. Do not separate them, keep them intact. Lightly grease the bottom of a 9″ x 12″ baking pan. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared pan and spread with half of the onion mixture. Layer the ham and cheese over the onion mixture. Cover completely from edge to edge. Replace the tops of the rolls and spread the remaining onion mixture evenly over the surface. Cover pan loosely with aluminum foil that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick spray. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours (the rolls will absorb the butter-mustard sauce as they sit). When you are ready to serve. Remove rolls from the refrigerator and heat oven to 350 degrees°F. When the oven is hot, place the covered pan in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for another 10 - 15 minutes, or until tops are light golden and slightly crisp. Transfer rolls onto a cutting board, cut and serve.

Categories     Ham

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter
1/4 cup sweet onion, minced
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons hot mustard or 2 tablespoons spicy mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
24 about 2 x 2-inches each small dinner rolls (see Note)
wasabi-horseradish mayonnaise, to taste (see Note)
24 slices about 3/4 pound thin slices deli ham (see Note)
24 slices about 1/2 pound thin slices swiss cheese

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, marinate the ham for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and make it extra juicy.
  • Use a good quality bread for the buns. A soft, fluffy bread will hold up well to the fillings and won't get soggy.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. You can use any type of cheese, meat, or vegetable that you like. Some popular options include:
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Sauerkraut
  • Pickles
  • Caramelized Onions
  • Garnish the buns with fresh herbs or vegetables before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Marinated Ham & Swiss Buns are always a hit at parties and gatherings. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. Experiment with different fillings and toppings to create your own unique version of this classic appetizer.
