Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Prep Time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
In a large bowl, gently combine the diced ham, cubed cheese, chopped eggs, mayonnaise, olives, and green onion. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Be careful not to overmix. (Prep Time: 10 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Spoon the ham and cheese mixture generously onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns, ensuring each bun is evenly filled. Place the top halves of the buns over the filling. (Prep Time: 5 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Wrap each filled bun individually in aluminum foil, creating a tight seal to trap the heat and moisture. (Prep Time: 10 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Arrange the wrapped buns on a baking sheet in a single layer. (Prep Time: 2 minutes)
06
Step
18 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are heated through. (Bake Time: 15-20 minutes)
07
Step
Carefully remove the Hambuns from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
For a spicier Hambun, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
To prevent the buns from becoming soggy, lightly toast them before adding the filling.
Hambuns can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Simply add a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure they are heated through.
For freezing, wrap the assembled Hambuns tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
Consider adding a layer of Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce to the buns before adding the filling for an extra layer of flavor.
