Ham Swiss Party Rye Bites Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add onion flakes and pasta; cook according to directions on package. Drain and return to pot.
• 2. Stir in ham, soup, milk and caraway seed. (Add more milk if needed to get consistency you want). Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• 3. Spoon half the mixture into a casserole dish that has been coated with non-stick cooking spray. Place 3 slices of cheese over this layer and top with remaining pasta mix. Top with remaining slices of cheese.
• 4. Cover with foil and bake in pre-heated 325F oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes.
• 5. Serve.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook onion in 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. , Spread remaining butter over 1 side of each slice of Texas toast. Place slices, buttered side down, on a griddle. Spread with mustard; layer with ham, apple, onion and cheese. Top with another slice of toast, buttered side up. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully turn; cook 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet; bake 20 minutes, till slightly dried.
• While bread is baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ham and saute a few minutes. Add oil (if desired) and stir in onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Saute till onion and garlic are golden and soft and mushrooms have released their liquid. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Whisk together milk, egg, thyme, pepper, and salt.
• To assemble the strata, layer half the bread cubes in the bottom of a lightly greased 9 by 13 inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle with half the ham mixture and 1/3 of the swiss cheese. Repeat layers. Gently pour egg mixture over layers and top with remaining 1/3 swiss cheese. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate* at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• To bake the strata, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake strata, still covered with foil, for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 20-30 minutes, until cheese on top is melted and egg portion is set (check by inserting a knife in the center--if it comes back without egg on it, you're set!).
• Let strata rest 5 minutes before serving.
• *Refrigeration time not included in recipe prep/cooking time.

Steps:

• In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, arrange half of the bread slices, overlapping as needed. Brush bread in dish with mustard. Top evenly with ham and Swiss cheese, overlapping as needed. Top with remaining bread slices, arranging them over first layer of bread slices to make sandwiches.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs and milk with wire whisk until well blended. Carefully pour over sandwiches. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 12 hours.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley and butter. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Sprinkle crumb topping over casserole. Bake uncovered 30 to 35 minutes or until sandwiches are puffed and golden brown.

Steps:

• Toast the slices of Jewish Rye bread, then spread the Kraft REAL MAYO on one or both slices. Add your meat(s), cheese, lettuce, tomato. Then if you like, add a green olive to the top or have a dill pickle spear to compliment this sandwich. Enjoy!
• *Of course you can add or delete any items to suit your own taste!
• **When I am out of rye bread, I use HomePride wheat bread. Also, my husband and I have found the best deli style smoked ham at Wal-Mart Supercenters. It is from Land O' Frost and is called DAGWOOD smoked ham. Absolutely the best in our opinion!

Steps:

• Lay the party rye out on baking sheets. Place a generous amount of ham on top. On top of ham, place a piece of swiss cheese.
• To make it easier I usually slice the ham and cheese after unwrapping it, into pieces large enough to fit each slice of the party rye.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake until cheese melts.
• Have some mustards out in case your guests would like to put some on their party ryes.
• These may be made earlier in the day, and refrigerated up until an hour before placing in oven.
• Buy more or less depending on your party size.
