    Hot Ham and Onion Jam Rolls with Molten Cheese

    These rolls were a huge hit when I was coming up with recipes to use leftover Christmas ham. Place these on the table and watch them disappear! Great with a cold beer. 

    INGREDIENTS

    12 bread rolls
    ¾ cup purchased onion jam or relish
    300 grams ham 
    1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
    paprika

    Topping
    ¼ cup melted butter
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    ½ teaspoon sea salt
    1 teaspoon dry English mustard
    pinch cayenne pepper
    2 eggs
    1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

    baking dish or oven tray (large enough to hold the rolls snugly) lined with baking paper

    METHOD

    Preheat the oven to 180°C.

    Topping: Whisk the butter, Worcestershire sauce, salt, mustard, cayenne and eggs together in a bowl then stir in the cheese. 

    Slice the rolls in half and place side by side in the baking dish. Place a spoonful of onion jam on each bottom half. Slice the ham thinly then pile onto the rolls and top with the cheese. 

    Cut a small slice off the top half of each roll (the topping will fall off if spooned onto a round top)and place over the bottom halves.

    Spoon the topping onto each roll then add a pinch of paprika.

    Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the topping is golden and bubbling and the ham is very hot, turning the tray for even browning. Serve immediately. Makes 12
