Mini Ham and Cheese Buns

Being 8 months pregnant with a 3 year old running around and a husband who works night shift, I need the quickest meals I can find for dinner. This is one of my go to recipes when I'm in a time crunch. Plus, my three year old LOVES these sandwiches!

Mini Ham and Cheese Buns:
2 tbsp dried minced onions
1 tbsp prepared mustard
1 tsp poppy seeds
1 stick melted butter
1 dozen dinner rolls or 2 dozen party rolls
1/2 lb ham
1/2 lb thinly sliced Swiss Cheese

1. Preheat oven to 325°. In a small mixing bowl, mix onion, mustard, poppy seeds, and melted butter. 
2. Leaving the dinner rolls intact, slice them open so that you have one solid top and bottom. Place the bottom half on a baking sheet or in a 9x13 inch baking pan. The pan size will depend on choice of rolls. 
3. Line the bottom half of the rolls with cheese and ham. Return the top part of the rolls and drizzle the butter mixture evenly over top. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
4. Use a shark knife and separate the little sandwiches. Place on a pretty platter and serve immediately.

Note: I use the Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (the package of 12). They work GREAT for these sandwiches. I also don't use poppy seeds.

Also, these can be made ahead of time and refrigerated they'll just require at least 5 more minutes of heating time. You can also prepare these and freeze them. If you do freeze them, defrost them in the fridge over night and bake as directed. And they're delicious reheated in the microwave!
