ham and swiss mini sandwiches with poppy seed glaze

I have only one piece of advice for you: make these sandwiches. Make them for a work function or a dinner party. Make them for a school get-together or for a neighbor’s house warming. I don’t care what you make them for… you just have to make them! But don’t just make them for you; make them for someone else too.

I’ll tell you a little story about these party sandwiches. Once upon a time way back in freshman year of high school, I made these sandwiches for a fiesta in my Spanish class. Then, they were specially requested for a History review session after school. Right before my eyes, these sandwiches were making me popular (kind of…). Before I knew it, no matter what the school occasion, every person in my class knew to ask me to make those sandwiches I was so famous for. No longer could I sign up for soda or napkins on the sign-up sheet before the class party. No longer could I pretend as if I had forgotten the special event that day at school. I was forever attached to these sandwiches.

I was even voted Most Likely to Open a Sandwich Shop in my Spanish class my senior year of high school solely for these little ham and swiss poppy-seed glazed sandwiches. But, hey, I was also voted Most likely to Open for Blink-182 earlier that year, and we all can see how far I got with that one.

Anyhow, what I’m trying to say (and I know I’m taking forever to say it) is MAKE THESE SANDWICHES! Everyone will love you… and you’ll love yourself for trying them, too.
