Ingredients for Baked Ham And Cheese Sandwiches

  • Sandwich Bun
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

How to Make Baked Ham And Cheese Sandwiches

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds.
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Spread a generous layer of the onion mixture on both sides of your favorite sandwich rolls (about 6-8 rolls).
  4. Layer 4-6 slices of ham and 2-3 slices of your favorite cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or provolone work well) on each roll.
  5. Wrap each sandwich tightly in aluminum foil.
  6. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the sandwiches are heated through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
