What Ingredients go into a Hot Baked Sandwich?

Recipe Ingredients

Package crescent rolls – These are so easy to use and make a great base for a sandwich as they bake golden and crispy.

Smoked turkey and Ham – These deli meats can be replaced with whatever you like. If you want an Italian version, then mortadella, salami, soppressata, etc. work great.

Gruyere or Swiss cheese and Mozzarella cheese – Again, use what cheese you like, but try to get good-melting cheese.

Roma tomatoes – You need to have the tomatoes sliced, salted and drained on paper towels. This will take out the moisture that can make your sandwich soggy.

Eggs beaten – This makes the crust golden and holds the sandwich together.

Salt and pepper to taste – The usual and almost always needed.

Whole grain mustard – You can replace this with Dijon mustard or others, but use something with a punch.

How to Make a Hot Baked Sandwich

Preheat the oven to 350F. Take the crescent roll from the packge, unroll and separate into two even squares. Line the bottom of an 8″ baking pan with parchment paper. Place in the one square of crescent dough, pressing the dough to fit the pan. Spread with the grainy mustard.

Layer in half of the turkey, ham and cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.

Pour half the eggs over top. Repeat the turkey, ham, & cheese layers, then add the tomatoes on top. Pepper to taste.

Top with the remaining dough and pour the remaining eggs on top.

Bake for 30 min. covered with foil and then another 10-15 min. with the foil off.

Let sit for 15-20 min. before removing from pan.

Recipe Pro Tips

FAQS

Use the Right Cheese

Best melting cheeses:

Mozzarella
Provolone
Swiss
Cheddar (sharp for flavor)
Monterey Jack

Shred your own for the smoothest melt.

Let It Rest Before Cutting

Rest 5 minutes after baking.
This helps the sandwich hold together and keeps cheese from sliding out.

Great for Feeding a Crowd

Assemble ahead, refrigerate, and bake when ready. (Up to an hour before)
Perfect for game day, potlucks, or busy weeknights.
