Can you prepare this ahead of time by baking the bottom crust, then put the rest together and doing the final bake maybe an hour later?
Hi Karon. Yes, you could absolutely do that and it will work fine.
Would you use a 9X13 pan if you doubled ?
Hi Mona. A 9×13 will be your best option but you may have some dough left over.
I made these for our Wednesday night bible study supper at church. We had 9 students from the college in our town that night and they ate every one of the double recipe I made. I like to think of recipes as suggestions, so I used two different types of cheese inside (sliced cheddar and the pepper jack between ham layers). They were definitely a hit!
Thanks Cathy. Glad they were a hit!
Super recipe and wouldn’t change a thing. You could probably use any meat and flavorful cheese. My question is how best to save leftover sandwiches?
Thanks Bill. We usually keep any leftovers in the dish with a lid or foil over it and reheat in the oven or individually in the microwave.
These are a huge hit in our house! I used a 9×13 pan instead of an 11×7 because it’s what I had on hand. Wouldn’t change a thing!
The glass pan size 7×11 inches seems to small?
This was so good! Used one can of crescents and halved it. Used Bavarian mustard with a little stone ground crafted mustard with a small amount of honey added because the ham was regular Boars Head boiled ham. Husband loved it!
