How to Make Baked Ham Sandwiches

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion.
  3. Spread the poppy seed mixture evenly inside the top halves of your sandwich buns.
  4. Place 2 ounces of sliced ham and 1 slice of your favorite cheese on each bun bottom.
  5. Assemble the sandwiches by placing the top halves on the bottom halves.
  6. For oven baking: Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown. Alternatively, wrap each sandwich individually in foil and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  7. For campfire cooking: Double wrap each sandwich in foil. Place on hot coals and cook, turning frequently, for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted.
  8. For microwave cooking: Place sandwich on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted. (Cooking time will depend on your microwave's power.)
  9. If freezing for later use, wrap sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. Thaw completely before cooking.
