How to Make Marinated Ham Swiss Buns Appetizer

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add 2 pounds thinly sliced ham to the marinade, ensuring all slices are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. Cut each Swiss roll into 1-inch thick slices (approximately 12-16 slices per roll depending on size).
  5. Place one slice of marinated ham on each Swiss roll slice.
  6. Arrange the ham and Swiss roll slices in a single layer in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the Swiss rolls are heated through and slightly golden brown.
  8. Optional: sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
