"These delicious sandwiches make a simple lunch special or a quick dinner seem not so rushed. Perfect for leftover holiday ham and turkey; or you can use deli sliced ham. This recipe was inspired by a beautiful cool spring evening and left over Easter ham. Our 4 year old loved his - I used a mayo and mustard combo for his. Goes well with a fresh garden salad, oven fries and a nice bottle of California White Bordeaux."

These were pretty good. The only thing I'd suggest is flipping the sandwiches halfway through if you use french or sourdough bread for a more even browning on both sides. Thanks!

So good! These are really great sandwiches. Like the others, I also skipped the horseradish- too strong a taste for me =) THANKS for posting!

These were so good! Reminded me a lot of an Arby's sandwich (a guilty pleasure for me). We only used the dijon & butter on the rolls. Made extra for lunch the next day - great idea!!! Perfect "rescue" dinner for a busy night!

Excellent sandwich! I used swiss cheese and skipped the horseradish due to personal preference. Other than that, made exactly as is and it was delicious!
