Buttery Glaze
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder

- Aluminum foil
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease your baking dish.
2️⃣ Slice the Rolls
Without separating them individually, slice the entire slab of rolls horizontally.
Place the bottom half into your baking dish.
3️⃣ Layer the Filling
Layer evenly:
- Swiss cheese
- Folded ham slices
- Provolone (if using)
Place the top half of the rolls back on.
4️⃣ Make the Glaze
In a bowl, mix:
- Melted butter
- Dijon mustard
- Honey or brown sugar
- Worcestershire
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Poppy or sesame seeds
Stir until combined.
5️⃣ Brush & Soak
Brush the buttery mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
Let sit for 5–10 minutes so the rolls soak up the flavor.
6️⃣ Bake
Cover loosely with foil.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove foil and bake another 5–7 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is melted.
7️⃣ Serve
Let cool slightly.
Slice and serve warm.
Enjoy the gooey, melty layers!
