- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 12 oz packages white party rolls
- ½ pound cooked ham chopped

Instructions
Prepare the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
Prepare the Butter Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, combine the grated onion, softened butter, poppy seeds, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Using a serrated knife, slice each package of party rolls horizontally to separate the tops from the bottoms. Place the bottom halves of the rolls into a baking dish. Evenly spread the prepared butter mixture over the bottom portions of the rolls.
Add the Filling:
- Distribute the chopped ham evenly across the buttered rolls. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the ham to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Complete the Sandwiches:
- Replace the tops of the rolls and arrange the sandwiches snugly in a single layer in the baking dish.
Bake the Sandwiches:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly browned and the cheese has melted thoroughly.
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and serve warm. These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh from the oven for optimal texture and taste.
