Baked Fresh Tomato, Ham and Swiss Filled Rolls

Baked Fresh Tomato, Ham and Swiss Filled Rolls

2 large (1 pound) fresh tomatoes
6 ounces sliced ham, cut in strips (about 11⁄2 cups)
6 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded (11⁄2 cups)
3 tablespoons creamy mustard blend
1 tablespoon prepared white horseradish
4 large hard round (Kaiser) rolls, cut in halves

Use tomatoes held at room temperature until fully ripe. Core tomatoes; cut in large chunks; set aside.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl combine ham, cheese, mustard blend and horseradish.

Gently stir in tomatoes. Remove the inside from the bottom portion of each roll, leaving 1⁄2 to 3⁄4-inch thick shells. Place on a baking sheet.

Fill each shell with about 1 cup of the tomato mixture; top with upper portion of roll. Bake until heated through and cheese starts to melt, about 15 minutes.

Makes 4 portions.
