Ham and Cheese Sliders

Thanks, Benay, for this addition to my cookbook. I use it all the time. These are perfect for a party. Kids love them too if you don't mention the onions. One of our pint-sized guests last night said, "These are great! Can you teach us how to make them?" Here you go:

1 ½ lb. thinly sliced ham

1 lb. sliced Swiss cheese

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 stick soft butter

3 Tbs. poppy seeds

3 Tbs. dijon mustard

2 Tbs. Worcestershire

3 pkg. small rolls (12, unseparated per package)

Mix onion, butter, poppy seeds, mustard, and Worcestershire. Slice rolls while still unseparated and spread paste-like mixture on tops and bottoms of rolls. Lay slices of ham and cheese on bottoms of rolls and put tops back on. Do not separate rolls until after they are baked. Wrap each set of prepared rolls in foil. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cut into individual sandwiches.

These can be prepared ahead of time and frozen. They should be wrapped in foil to be frozen. If frozen, they should be baked for 60 minutes.
