Steps:
- In a medium-sized saucepan melt the butter and mix in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and onion. Simmer until the onions become translucent about 5 minutes. Cut the entire package of rolls in half. Do not separate them, keep them intact. Lightly grease the bottom of a 9″ x 12″ baking pan. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared pan and spread with half of the onion mixture. Layer the ham and cheese over the onion mixture. Cover completely from edge to edge. Replace the tops of the rolls and spread the remaining onion mixture evenly over the surface. Cover pan loosely with aluminum foil that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick spray. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours (the rolls will absorb the butter-mustard sauce as they sit). When you are ready to serve. Remove rolls from the refrigerator and heat oven to 350 degrees°F. When the oven is hot, place the covered pan in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for another 10 - 15 minutes, or until tops are light golden and slightly crisp. Transfer rolls onto a cutting board, cut and serve.

HOT & MELTY OVEN BAKED HAM & SWISS SANDWICHES
I made 36 of these for our neighborhood Holiday House Hop Party. They were a huge hit last year so I searched for a recipe to present again this year. I bought a good deli ham and had it shaved, I think it's easier to bit into and enjoy. You can use as much ham & cheese as you like. If it fits on the buns, go for it! The buttery mustard sauce is amazing! I do not add the poppy seeds, they look pretty but nobody likes speckled teeth! I tripled the recipe but only doubled the sauce and still had a tiny bit left over. Go ahead and slather it all on, these are yummy! Inspired by recipe from Bunsinmyoven.com

CAROLINA HAM & CHEESE MELT
These delicious sandwiches make a simple lunch special or a quick dinner seem not so rushed. Perfect for leftover holiday ham and turkey; or you can use deli sliced ham. This recipe was inspired by a beautiful cool spring evening and left over Easter ham. Our 4 year old loved his - I used a mayo and mustard combo for his. Goes well with a fresh garden salad, oven fries and a nice bottle of California White Bordeaux.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for a good quality ham that is not too salty and a Swiss cheese that is flavorful and melts well.
- Spread the butter on the outside of the bread slices before grilling. This will help to create a crispy, golden crust.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when grilling the sandwiches. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the sandwiches over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Ham and Swiss melts are a classic sandwich that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious sandwich that is perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack.
