Cucumber Sandwiches With Cream Cheese Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches

Let’s talk about comfort. Not the fuzzy socks or soft-blanket kind—though I love those, too—but the straight-from-the-oven, buttery, melty, handheld kind. These baked ham and cheese sandwiches are that kind of comfort. They're crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and just the kind of thing I’d bring to a picnic, game night, or one of those 'everyone’s-hungry-and-I-have-no-time' moments. You might not believe how easy they are to throw together. I mean, who knew that a few simple ingredients—like Hawaiian rolls, deli ham, and Swiss cheese—could make something this wildly addictive? It’s like the universe handed us a cheat code for sandwiches. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Barbecue Beef Sandwiches or one of those genius folks who swears by their Camping Sandwiches Pie Irons, you’ll appreciate how these little oven-baked sliders check every box. And if you’ve got leftovers from White Chicken Chili With Cream Cheese night? Pair them. It’s magic. Just like a Cucumber Smoothie after a long day or indulging in Coconut Cream Ice Cream after dinner. These sandwiches? A keeper.

Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half
  • 3/4 pound deli ham, thinly sliced
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the bottom halves of the rolls in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. Layer the ham evenly over the bottom halves, then top each with a slice of cheese.
  4. Place the tops of the rolls over the cheese.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and onion powder.
  6. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the sandwiches.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until tops are slightly crispy and golden.
  9. Serve warm and try not to eat half the pan alone. No judgment if you do.
