Funeral Sandwiches

After reading the reviews, I decided to make this recipe as written except for the cooking time. I found the quantity of cheese to be perfect as written, and ham was also sufficient (more wouldn’t hurt, but it was fine). I also quartered the pieces of ham for easier cutting and separation of the individual sandwiches, and that worked out really well. I used the full quantity of butter, which was a lot, however worked out deliciously (just be sure to serve these with napkins, as they are very buttery!). As for cooking time, definitely check between 10-15 minutes, as that was enough time for me for the tops to brown and the cheese to melt without overly browning the tops. These were a hit! The sweet taste of the Hawaiian rolls and brown sugar was nice and different, though we did end up adding some mayo to our individual sandwiches when serving to balance out the sweetness.

I cut this down to only make 4 sandwiches. It was easily scalable. I really liked the mustard/brown sugar flavor on these. I sort of missed the onion that is usually on these, but it was still fine without. I am not sure what the standing time after adding the butter/poppyseed topping was for other than to suggest that they could be prepared a day ahead. These were really good and I enjoyed them very much. My only issue was the bottoms got soggy in some places. I'd use a thinner sliced (shaved) ham next time so the ham doesn't pull out when you try to take a bite into it.
