Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the sandwiches
- 12 pieces Soft dinner rolls or small slider buns (A 12-pack is perfect)
- 12 slices Deli ham (Thin sliced is easiest to bite through)
- 12 slices Cheese slices (Swiss, cheddar, provolone, or preference) (Half Swiss and half cheddar is a good mix for a crowd)
- 1 cup Lettuce (Optional, but adds crunch)
- 8 oz Cream cheese (Softened for spreading)
- 2 tablespoons Mustard (Dijon is preferred; yellow is fine too)
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise (Optional, for extra creaminess)
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Mix softened cream cheese with Dijon mustard, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. If desired, mix in a spoonful of mayonnaise for a looser consistency.
- Slice the rolls in half, keeping them connected if possible. Spread the cream cheese-mustard mixture on both halves.
- Layer the deli ham, cheese, and optional lettuce on the bottom half of each roll. If using wide ham, fold it instead of laying it flat.
- Press the top half of the rolls gently to help the layers settle.
- Optional: Chill assembled sandwiches for 10 to 15 minutes to help hold everything together before cutting.
Cutting and Serving
- Using a serrated knife, cut the sandwiches into quarters or smaller pieces, depending on preference.
- Secure sandwiches with toothpicks for easier serving if desired.
Notes
These sandwiches can be assembled a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Pair with sweet mini desserts for a complete party spread.
