·         1/4 cup honey
·         1/8 cup mustard

In a small bowl whisk all together and set aside.

Directions:
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice open the rolls and spread the honey mustard sauce on the bottom and mayonnaise on the top.  Place a slice of ham and cheese on each roll and place the top on each sandwich.  Place all the sandwiches on a cookies sheet and drizzle each sandwich with the poppy seed dressing until you have used a little more than half and each sandwich is covered.  Tightly wrap the pan with tin foil and bake for 12-15 minutes.  After baking you can drizzle with a little more sauce (you may need to melt it again) then serve immediately.
