Awesome Baked Ham and Swiss Poppy Seed Sandwiches
Makes 4 servings
6 T. butter
1 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T prepared mustard
2 T. brown sugar
4-6 buns - whatever it takes to fill 8 x 8 pan
- I’ve used whole wheat dinner buns, white hamburger buns,
and leftover bratwurst / hot dog buns
8 oz. thin-sliced cooked deli or packaged ham
4 -5 ounces shredded Swiss cheese, or enough sliced Swiss cheese to cover each bun.
Directions
Best if refrigerated a few hours or overnight, but fine if baked immediately.
When ready to bake preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Into a medium microwave safe bowl, measure butter, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and prepared mustard. Heat to boiling to melt butter & sugar. Stir to mix well.
Coat an 8x8 baking pan lightly with vegetable spray.
Slice rolls in half horizontally and set aside tops. Arrange bottoms in a single layer in the 8 x 8 pan. Drizzle about 1 tsp. sauce on each. Top generously with ham and evenly sprinkle with shredded Swiss cheese. Dip each top quickly in sauce. Replace tops. Spoon remaining heated butter mixture over each roll, about 1-2 T per bun.
Cover with aluminum foil & refrigerate until ready to bake.
Bake, covered, in the preheated 350 degree oven 25 minutes (or 10 minutes if not refrigerated), then uncovered 10 minutes, until rolls are lightly browned and cheese is melted.
