Ham & Swiss Football Sandwiches

Football season is here! Nothing better than these at your next gathering. I know these look so simple to do, but I’m telling you—the complexity of the flavors is unmatched. These are the perfect addition to your round table football game pickin’s! You can even make these up to 24 hours ahead of time!

Ingredients:

1 large pack of Hawaiian Rolls

6 tablespoons yellow mustard, divided

12 thin slices Black Forest ham

12 thin slices deli Swiss Cheese

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

1 tablespoon poppyseeds

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees.

Slice rolls in half horizontally. Spread 1/4 cup mustard on cut side of roll tops and bottoms

Arrange roll bottoms, cut side up and side by side in a 9×13 baking dish. Fold ham slices in thirds, then once in half. Place 1 slice on each roll bottom. Fold Swiss like ham, then place over ham. Season with pepper to taste and cap with tops.

Combine butter, shallots and poppyseeds in a bowl. Microwave until butter is melted and shallots are softened—about 1-2 minutes. Whisk Worcestershire, garlic powder and remaining 2 tablespoons mustard into butter mixture. Then, generously brush the tops and edges of the rolls with all of the butter mixture. Spoon any remaining solids over rolls.

Cover dish with aluminum foil and let sit for 15 minutes to allow rolls to absorb the sauce. Bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until cheese is melted around the edges and tops are slightly firm. 7 to 9 minutes longer. Let these cool for 10 minutes.
