Garlicky Ham & Cheese Party Sandwiches

Several months ago my mom had told me about these yummy party sandwiches that she had made and how I should really give them a try. I made up a batch to bring over to my sister-in-law and brother-in-law after they recently had their first baby, along with some other goodies. The sandwiches were delicious! I made these again a few weeks ago and changed up the recipe a bit to suit my husband and my tastes a bit more. So today I’m going to share my recipe for these Garlicky Ham and Cheese Party Sandwiches with you. These are perfect for entertaining a crowd and can be made a day ahead of time (don’t you just love make ahead recipes?)!

Brush the remaining butter/mustard mixture on top of each sandwich and sprinkle some additional dried minced garlic on top as well.
