Hot Colby Ham Sandwiches

From: Quick Cooking – a magazine from the Spokane library

 

½ cup butter, melted

2 tablespoons mustard

1 tablespoon dried onion, minced

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

2-3 tablespoons sugar

15 slices Colby cheese

15 dinner rolls – about 3” in diameter – sliced

15 thin slices deli ham (about 1 pound)

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

In a small bowl, combine the butter, mustard, onion, poppy seeds and sugar. Place roll bottoms, cut side up, in an ungreased 15x10x1 inch baking pan. Top each with Colby cheese, ham and mozzarella cheese. Drizzle with half of the butter mixture. Replace roll tops. Drizzle with remaining butter mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Nancy’s Notes: Tammy sent this recipe via e-mail Feb. 23, 2005. I came across it this week and since I had ham slices in the frig I decided these sandwiches would pair nicely with my homemade split pea soup. I halved the recipe. One bite and we knew this was a winner. I would never have read this recipe and thought it would be so good. Steven seems to have a real knack for reading a recipe and translating that to taste. He rarely picks a bad one. I used sliced mozzarella – not as messy. It will be interesting to see how the leftovers warm up.
