Ham and Cheese Party Rolls

You will probably notice a slight theme this week. I've been featuring food and drink that would be great for 
your next get-together, party, baby shower, bridal shower, book club meeting. 
You get the idea. 

If you missed the Sparkling Strawberry Punch recipe, be sure to check it out HERE.

This next recipe came to me by way of a co-worker a few years ago. 
And, until I started food blogging, I had no idea how popular this recipe was with the rest of the world.

I thought I had something truly unique and top secret. 
It turns out...

Not so much.

But you know it's gotta be a good recipe if lots of folks talk about it and share it with friends.

It's very easy to throw together and folks really do rave about them.

Ingredients:

1 stick salted butter

1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

2 tbsp. brown sugar (dark or light)

1/2 tbsp. mustard (yellow or dijon)

1 (12 oz) package King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (package of 12)

Black Forest Ham, 12 slices or 1/2 pound

Monterey Jack Cheese, 12 slices or 4 oz shredded
Raspberry Preserves

raspberry preserves not pictured


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F degrees

In a small pot, melt stick of butter with Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and mustard until thoroughly melted and combined.

Meanwhile, take rolls out of package and slice through all the rolls (while still attached), cutting them in half horizontally. 

Brush the glaze mixture onto both sides of the rolls, covering well.

The glaze is what takes this over the top, so don't be stingy. 
Just leave a little to brush on the tops.

On one side of rolls, add sliced ham, then top with cheese. 

I forgot to take a picture with the cheese on top, I'll get the hang of this food blogging thing at some point.

Put top on rolls and then brush the tops with leftover glaze mixture.  

Place rolls into a baking dish. 

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Slice and serve!
Put out some warmed Raspberry Preserves and let guests slather a bit of it on their rolls. 
It is so unbelievably good.

Cook's Notes: I have been known to add a bit of pineapple juice to the glaze mixture when I have it on hand. 
Pineapple pairs so nicely with ham. Add about a tablespoon.
Also, feel free to use any type of ham/cheese combo. that you really enjoy.

Enjoy!
