what you’ll need for this recipe

Bread – I used ciabatta rolls for these sandwiches, but feel free to use any rolls you have on hand. Kaiser, hard rolls, poppy seed rolls, or potato rolls would all work well.

Ham – Ham is one of the main ingredients in the sandwiches. I used sliced deli ham, but pulled ham or leftover Easter ham would also be delicious!

Cheese – Cheese pairs with the ham and melts in the oven, creating a deliciously gooey combination. The recipe calls for Swiss cheese, but feel free to substitute provolone, monterey jack, mozzarella, or even cheddar.

Honey mustard – Homemade honey mustard makes the perfect sauce and is made with just 3 ingredients. I also added some poppy seeds directly to the sauce.

Poppy seeds/butter – Melted butter + poppy seeds

Assemble the sandwiches. Slice the rolls in half lengthwise; divide the ham and cheese evenly among the rolls and top with honey mustard.
