A Southern classic, funeral sandwiches aren’t just for funerals. They’re for every gathering you can think of. The buttery ham and cheese sliders are guaranteed to disappear fast—no one can resist.
In my family, we call these hot sammies. No matter what you call them, they are delicious. Funeral sandwiches are savory with a nice sweetness from the ham, and I love how the exterior gets a little crisp while the inside stays soft and gooey.
Tips for Making Funeral Sandwiches
- If your store carries a big 24-ounce pack of Hawaiian-style rolls, use those instead.
- Swap the fresh onion for 2 tablespoons of dried minced onion.
- Butter is fully softened when you can easily squish it between your thumb and forefinger. It should have an indentation but not lose its shape. You aren’t looking for melted butter or room-temperature butter, which won’t hold its shape when pressed.
- I find it easiest to cut the sandwiches apart with a serrated knife.
- Adjust the ham to your desired flavor profile. Black Forest ham adds a nice saltiness that helps to counteract the sweetness of the rolls. If you are looking for a sweeter take, use honey ham.
