Hot Ham and Cheese Rolls
Hot ham and cheese rolls are pure Midwest practicality. Soft rolls, salty ham, butter brushed generously over the top, assembled quickly and baked until everything comes together.
They’re made for luncheons, game days, and kitchens full of conversation. Nothing fancy, nothing wasted, and exactly what people hope for when they lift the foil.
Ingredients
