Dress up Pepperidge Farm party rolls and add ham and cheese for a delightful snack or appetizer. Party Ham Cheese Sandwiches are easy to make too.
I always thought the mini Pepperidge Farm ham and cheese sandwiches were quite elegant when I was a kid. I always hoped someone would bring the tasty appetizers to pot luck dinners. And, I'd try to get near the front of the line, because the best treats always flew off the party platters. It took a real effort to get only one little Pepperidge Farm party roll sandwich, and I sometimes grabbed two even though I was brought up better.
Now that I'm an adult, I still love little ham and cheese sandwiches. But, now I can make them myself and eat a whole pan if I want. I try not to do that either, and since I have two boys, that wouldn't be likely to happen. I can still dream though.
Party Ham Cheese Sandwiches
1 stick butter
1 tsp. mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. poppy seeds
cooked deli ham (thin sliced is best)
Swiss cheese
2 packages Pepperidge Farm party rolls
Directions:
Melt the butter in a sauce pan and stir in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds.
Open the Pepperidge Farm party rolls. They come in a metal toss-away cooking pan and are with the rolls in the grocery store. Take the rolls out of the pan and cut them so that you have a huge sandwich of connected rolls. Put the bottom half of the rolls back in the pan and wait for the top half.
Take the ham and cheese slices and layer those on the bottom part of the rolls. The amount is very flexible. I like quite a bit of ham and cheese on my party sandwiches.
Take the top part of the rolls and put them back on top like a sandwich.
Brush the butter sauce evenly on top of the party rolls.
At this point, the rolls look pretty much as they did when you first opened them. They are just sandwiched with the meat and cheese hidden in the middle and with the butter sauce spread on top.
Cover the party rolls with tin foil, or the bread will get hard in the oven.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Since this recipe makes two trays of party rolls, you can take one to a party and then eat the other tray yourself. See, I'm still dreaming of my own tray of Pepperidge Farm party sandwiches.
