Brown Sugar Ham Rolls - Sister Schubert rolls split and brushed with a brown sugar glaze and topped with swiss and deli ham. Great for lunch, dinner, parties, and tailgating! Only 6 ingredients - dinner rolls, brown sugar, dijon mustard, butter, swiss cheese, and ham. Ready to eat in under 30 minutes. You can make the sandwiches ahead of time and freeze them for later. You might want to double the recipe. These things fly off the plate!!
1(11-oz)pan frozen Sister Schubert Parker House rolls, thawed
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a saucepan, melt butter, brown sugar and dijon mustard. Stirring continuously. Remove from heat.
Remove rolls from pan. Remove one of the outer rolls and set it aside. This will help line up the top and bottoms easily. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the rolls in half.
Brush the sugar mixture on both cut sides of the rolls (don't forget the roll you removed). Place swiss cheese slices on top of the sugar mixture. Top with ham.
Place the top half of the rolls on top of the ham, lining up the empty space. Replace the roll in the empty space.
Cover pan with foil. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
Notes:
I garnished the rolls with some dried parsley before serving.
I used Boar's Head Virginia Ham.
The key to these rolls is to get the deli counter to slice your ham super thin - you actually want it shaved, falling apart thin.
I like to use Sargento's thinly sliced swiss cheese on these sandwiches. If you don't like swiss, you can use any cheese that you enjoy - gruyere, gouda, and cheddar all delicious.
I used Sister Schubert rolls. The secret to easily reassemble the rolls is to remove one of the outer rolls and set it aside before slicing the rolls in half. This will help line up the top and bottoms easily.
If you don't have access to Sister Schubert rolls, you can substitute Hawaiian rolls.
