HOW TO MAKE HOT HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICHES
I love that these sandwiches are super easy to make. Follow these super simple steps to make your very own batch of yummy sliders!
STEP 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and coat a large baking dish (9x13 or a similar size) with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with the bottom halves of the Hawaiian rolls. Top with the ham and the provolone cheese slices. Spread cream cheese onto the bottoms of the sweet roll tops and place them in a layer on top of the cheese.
STEP 2
In a medium bowl, combine the butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onions and Parmesan cheese. Mix well and pour evenly over tops of the sandwiches. Sprinkle the poppy seeds over the top.
STEP 3
Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350 for 25 minutes, or until warmed through and cheese is melted. Cut at the seams with a knife and serve warm!
TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST HOT SANDWICH RECIPE!
Replace the layers of ham with thin sliced turkey or roast beef instead for a different flavor.
Replace yellow mustard with honey mustard or dijon mustard for an extra touch of flavor.
Although I loooooove using provolone in this recipe because it's so perfectly ooey-gooey, feel free to swap it out for cheddar, mozzarella or even swiss cheese.
Feel free to swap out the butter in the topping with olive oil.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH THESE DELICIOUS SANDWICHES
These sliders have a “party food” label for me personally and any other type of party food goes well with party food. Know what I mean? If you are making these sandwiches for dinner instead, or maybe an afternoon lunch or brunch, then you might want some ideas about what to serve alongside them. Here are some ideas for you!
A leafy chopped salad would taste great with hot ham and cheese sandwiches!
Slow Cooker Hot Creamy Corn goes with everything.
These Slow Cooker Baked Beans are SO GOOD and they taste even more incredible when served on a plate with tailgate sandwiches.
Sauteed Cabbage is a super simple and delish side that goes great with sandwiches.
Especially if you are serving these in the spring or summer, Fruit Salad with a Twist is the perfect complement!
These are super easy to make ahead of time. Assemble the sandwiches as directed. Mix up the topping but store it separately in the fridge. Brush it over the tops of the sandwiches just before baking.
This is also a good recipe to freeze. I've done this many times! Place them in a resealable bag and wrap in foil. Freeze for up to 4 months! When removing them from the freezer, allow them to thaw completely and place them into a baking dish or onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees until just warmed through, about 15 minutes.
