SOURCE PEGGY TROWBRIDGE. Plan on making a double batch for any party or occasion, especially Superbowl. Even guys ask for the recipe. Marinated ham and Swiss buns make a killer appetizer, and better yet, you can make them a couple of days in advance before baking. The cooking time does not include the overnight marination.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter
1/4 cup sweet onion, minced
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons hot mustard or 2 tablespoons spicy mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
24 about 2 x 2-inches each small dinner rolls (see Note)
wasabi-horseradish mayonnaise, to taste (see Note)
24 slices about 3/4 pound thin slices deli ham (see Note)
24 slices about 1/2 pound thin slices swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Line two 9 x 13-inch baking pans with non-stick foil or butter traditional pans.
  • To prepare marinade, saute minced sweet onion in butter over low heat until onion is soft and translucent.
  • Add poppy seeds, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and brown sugar.
  • Stir until brown sugar is melted into the sauce.
  • Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
  • Set marinade aside.
  • Slice the buns in half.
  • Spread bottoms of buns with a thin layer of horseradish mayonnaise.
  • Fold ham slices to fit the bottom of each bun.
  • Repeat with Swiss cheese slices, folding to fit buns.
  • Replace bun tops.
  • Place ham and cheese buns into prepared baking pans.
  • Pour marinade evenly over both pans of buns.
  • Cover tightly with foil. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Bake marinated buns covered for 25 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.
  • Notes: Use pre-baked dinner rolls.
  • If you make your own yeast dinner rolls, all the better.
  • If you're on a budget, adjust this method to use large yeast hot dog rolls, cut into thirds (you may need to adjust the baking time).
  • Horseradish mayonnaise is easy to make at home, but there are decent commercial varieties to use as a shortcut.
  • You can use regular mayonnaise if you need to avoid horseradish.
  • For the ham, I used a rosemary sun-dried tomato deli ham, but feel free to use your favorite.
  • Just be sure it is sliced very thin and use a high-grade, low-moisture ham for best results.
  • Yield: 24 appetizer servings.

DOWN ON THE FARM - FRIED HAM SANDWICH - LONGMEADOW



Down on the Farm - Fried Ham Sandwich - Longmeadow image

I was in the nursing profession many, many, years ago. When the nursing staff was allowed to take a lunch break, I would meander down to our hospital cafeteria and order up one of these sandwiches. Of course, the cafeteria chefs had a special "seasoned grill" that punctuated years and years of cooking delectable delights, the way it used to be cooked, without the use of microwaves, and or already prepared, "boiled - in - the - bag" foods that came from "Sysco". These amazing chefs even had special spatulas that you could easily imagine the pounding and flipping going on, being delicately tossed in the air, as somehow this made the food taste even more spectacular. After paying for the sandwich, I would sit down, and carefully open the wrapper, and inhale the aroma of freshly cut ham, the sweetest, most soft bread that I have ever known, and the mixture of ham juice and a bit of butter that warmed the ham prior to marrying with the bread. Needless to say, I always looked forward to this break, and on the occasion of visiting this hospital even today, I reflect back on those days of good ol' cooking as it used to be, and the delights these very special chefs produced. To this day I still make these at home, occasionally for lunch or a quick dinner. After the cafeteria chefs put this yummy sandwich together they would wrap it in (1) wax paper (2) then aluminum foil. By the time you got to your table, the tastes had developed and probably steamed in the combination of wax paper and foil. Either way, I guess these magical chefs will never be forgotten as this made my day complete, every single day. I hope you enjoy this sandwich as much as I. Try the wax paper and foil too, [if you have time].....you will see what I'm talking about.
