Ham and Cheese Rolls with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

These fun ham and cheese rolls take the classic ham and cheese sandwich to a fun new level. Make the honey mustard dipping sauce to bring it all together. Whether you need a fun new lunch idea or a hearty savory appetizer or snack, these will surely do the trick.

Ham and cheese rollups are like a hot ham and cheese sandwich in a fun pinwheel form.  They are great served warm, but are also fabulous cold or at room temperature. 

Put a few in a lunchbox along with a little dipping sauce for a fun treat. Or you could bake some today and put the extras in the freezer for another day. The possibilities are endless!

It just seems like a ham and cheese sandwich in a lunchbox is a right of passage.  In fact, my husband still packs a ham and cheese sandwich in his lunchbox almost every day.

Sometimes he’ll ask for some turkey or I’ll surprise him with pastrami.  But the vast majority of time it is the good ol’ ham and cheese on white bread with a bit of mayo and mustard.  He is definitely a creature of habit.

On the other hand, I want to play to much with my food.  So the idea of a ham and cheese sandwich every day is enough to drive me crazy.

But that doesn’t mean that ham and cheese sandwiches are bad. It just means that I want to change it up every now and then.  

These baked ham and cheese rolls are a way to get that same basic flavor but in a much more fun package.

Can you imagine your kid opening their lunch expecting to see and sandwich and finding these rolls instead?  To make it even more fun, include some honey mustard dipping sauce.  

After all, a good dipping sauce can make anything more fun and adds another layer of flavor.

If hot lunch is more your kids’ speed, that’s ok.  There are plenty of chances to make them anyway.  They make for a fun dinner fresh from the oven.

They are a great snack as well.  You can make a bunch at once and freeze them for after school snacks.  That way getting over the homework hump is a little easier.

You can make them with your favorite pizza crust recipe.  You could also make them with sourdough pizza crust or your favorite pizza dough recipe.

If the idea of baking with yeast scares you, you really should give it a try.  It is fun!

If that’s a hurdle you aren’t interested in jumping right now, feel free to pick up some frozen bread dough or pizza dough at the grocery store.  Then you can have these made in no time!
