Hamlets.

We used to make these all the time, but I had to search to find a recipe tonight. We always called them "hamlets", but most of the recipes that I have found call them "party ham rolls." They are wonderful at brunch. They freeze well. People love them.

Hamlets

1 & 1/2 sticks butter, softened
3 TBSP poppy seeds
1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
2 TBSP dijon mustard
1 medium onion, finely grated
2 TBSP brown sugar
1/4 tsp onion powder
4 pkgs. party rolls (little rectangular dinner rolls, usually in an aluminum pan)
1/2 pound grated Swiss cheese (or Gouda)
3/4 pound diced ham

Mix first 7 ingredients. Slice rolls lengthwise (like layer cake). Spread both sides with mixture. Put ham on bottom half and sprinkle with cheese. Wrap in foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. (It helps to cut before cooking.) Let cool slightly before slicing. Even if pre-cut, they will need slicing again. (recipe modified 12/25/2013)
