Oven Ham Sammies
Submitted by Tammy Eubank, Patriot Mom
Gary Chapman’s book, The Five Love Languages, details different vehicles people use to express love - words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Perhaps the one language he overlooked is the Food Love language. I’m not talking about the “hide in a dark closet with a box of Hostess Ding Dongs” kind of love, but rather the love that comes from creating delicious food for others.
One of my favorite Food Love recipes is these Oven Ham Sammies. These little hot sandwiches are the perfect make-ahead recipe, taking the ham sandwich from mundane to extraordinary and spreading Food Love all around.
Oven Ham Sammies
Adapted from Dine & Dish
12 count package King's Hawaiian Rolls
7 TBS butter, melted
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp poppy seeds
1 tsp onion flakes (optional)*
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 package Swiss cheese slices
16 oz. thinly sliced ham
Slice the rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a lightly greased 13X9” baking dish. Arrange the ham and cheese on top of the rolls. Place the top halves of the rolls over the ham and cheese. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, mustard, poppy seeds, onion flakes, and Worcestershire sauce. Evenly spoon the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls. Cover the rolls with foil and refrigerate overnight or for several hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and allow them to rest on the counter for 30 minutes. Bake the covered rolls for 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted, uncovering the pan after 15 minutes of baking. Serve immediately.
*When I’m baking the sammies for children, I usually leave out the onion flakes.
