Well, that’s quite a mouthful, isn’t it? Hot and Melty Oven Baked Ham and Swiss Sandwiches. I couldn’t help myself. I couldn’t just title this “Ham and Cheese sandwiches.” Who would be interested in that? And I want you to be interested. I want you to be very interested.
You see, these little sandwiches are amazing things. They are so very simple, they’re perfect for feeding a crowd, they can be an appetizer, a snack, or a main course. They are great man food and are postively perfect for Sunday football. They’re also great girl food, since they are little mini sandwiches and everyone knows that all girls think mini foods are cute, right? No? That’s just me? Well, then.
I found this recipe on Dine and Dish back in August and since then I’ve made these about 10 times. I just can’t help myself. They are delish! I serve them when my husband has his buddies over for football, I served them along with a big pot of chili on Halloween, and I serve them for dinner when I’m in a hurry and need something tasty and easy.
You can really feed a crowd with these and it only takes minutes to prepare them. You just slice a package of King’s Hawaiian Rolls in half, layer the bottoms with ham and cheese, place the top pieces of bread on, and then pour the delightful butter mixture over them. The original recipe says to refrigerate these overnight or for several hours, but I find that even 30 minutes works just fine.
The topping is a mixture of melted butter, worchestershire sauce, ground mustard, poppy seeds, and dried onion flakes. I leave out the poppy seeds and onion flakes because my picky little family would have a stroke if I put something like a poppy seed on their bun. I can just hear them now, “What is this? Bird food?!” And let’s not even consider what would happen if I put chunks of dried onion on these. I do add a bit of onion powder, though. Sneaky, aren’t I?

I’ve made these several times. Each time, however, the bottoms of the sandwiches get hard and overdone. I feel it ruins the potential softness of the sandwiches. I even bake them on the top shelf. How can I avoid this? Not so good with hard bottoms and soft tops. Anyone else have this issue?
Karly says
You could always try reducing the heat on your oven and letting them cook a little lower. You just want them heated through and the cheese melted.
Kelli says
Thanks. I’ll try that next time. I should’ve thought of that. 🙂
whitneyk says
Yes! The exact same thing has happened to me every time I’ve tried to make these. I asked a coworker what she thought I was doing wrong and she just looked at me like I was crazy. Thank you for making me feel not crazy.
Kelli says
I thought I was the only one, Whitney! Thank you for making ME not feel crazy! 🙂

You could also try putting a baking sheet underneath the rolls (either on the same rack or on the rack below). This will act as a buffer.

One of my co workers made these wonderful little sandwiches and brought them to work yesterday. They were the hit of the potluck. Absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to make them for my family this evening.
Pam says
Will the ham and cheese spoil if you leave it out at room temperature overnight? Or did you put them with the buns in the refrigerator?
Also, the topping is used to glaze the top surface of the bun is it?
Michelle says
Made these a week ago and LOVED them! Was looking for this recipe and came across this version. I did cut the butter in half and it was still so good. Thanks!
Marti says
For added yumminess use ham and chedder or american cheese, and add a touch of brown sugar and mustard to the sauce. mmmm. Tastes like those delish sammies you make from the leftover Easter ham that you’ve baked for hours and hours with that wonderful brown sugar glaze! Give it a try…you will love it!
Karly says
@Marti,
So funny that you just commented on this old recipe! I was putting it into the fridge for dinner tonight as you were commenting! 🙂
I’ll give it a try your way next time! Sounds delish!

I had these at a church meeting and had to get the recipe. I have made them many times since then. I too, slice through the whole package of buns at the same time and then layer my other items. I use shaved ham as it is easier to cut through after baking. Also, the butter mixture I pour over the meat and cheese before placing the tops back on the sandwiches and then put the rest over the top of the sandwiches before baking them. Make sure before you take them somewhere you have a copy of the recipe in your pocket because I promise someone will ask for the recipe before the party is over.
Pam says
These are the easiest most wonderful quick I need a dish to carry somewhere. I noticed that some say the sauce goes on before the top bun. The one I have made for years you pour it over the top of the bun, seems to work either way. Fix anyway and Enjoy!!

My Mom has been making these since the 60’s. My wife is making them tonight for the Steelers game (vs 49ers on MNF… go Steelers) and I went online to see if I could find a calorie count on them. Anyway, to answer Jan, the sauce goes on top of the cheese, not on top of the bun.
Mom used to use cheap hamburger buns instead of the Hawaian bread, although that sounds good. Also, she would bake them individually wrapped in aluminum foil to make them crispier. Enjoy!
Rebecca says
I made these today for the UF football game and my family loved them! They were so easy to make too. I substituted sesame seeds for poppy seeds just cause thats what we had on hand. Thank you for this recipe, its definitely a keeper 🙂
