Can I use pretzel rolls instead of soft pretzels?

Absolutely! Pretzel rolls or buns work wonderfully and might even be easier to eat. Simply slice them in half horizontally and follow the same basic recipe, adjusting baking times as needed since they're likely thicker than traditional soft pretzels.

How do I prevent my sandwiches from becoming soggy?

The mayo actually helps create a barrier that prevents sogginess. For extra protection, toast the pretzels slightly longer in the first bake, and don't let assembled sandwiches sit too long before the final heating. Serving immediately after the final bake also helps maintain the perfect texture.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Yes! Preheat your air fryer to 350°F, bake the pretzels for 2-3 minutes, assemble as directed, then return to the air fryer for 2 minutes until the cheese melts. The results are wonderfully crisp on the outside while maintaining a soft interior.

What's the best way to serve these for a party?

For parties, consider making mini versions using smaller pretzel bites. You can also prepare a "build your own" station with warmed pretzels and various fillings so guests can customize their sandwiches. Keep prepared pretzels warm in a low oven (200°F) until serving time.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400℉, or follow the temperature instructions provided on the box of frozen pretzels.
Bake the Pretzels: Arrange all 6 frozen pretzels on a baking sheet and bake them for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to warm up and slightly crisp on the outside.
Prepare Pretzels for Assembly: Remove the pretzels from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350℉ to avoid over-browning later on.
Add Spreads: Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the underside of 3 pretzels. For more flavor, you can also coat the remaining 3 pretzels if desired.
Add Ham and Cheese: Layer approximately 3 slices of honey ham onto each prepared pretzel, then top the ham with one slice of Swiss cheese on each.
Assemble and Bake Sandwiches: Carefully place the remaining 3 pretzels on top of the cheese to form sandwiches. Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven and bake for about 3 more minutes, or until the Swiss cheese is melted and gooey.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy your melty and flavorful pretzel sandwiches!

Notes

Optional: Sprinkle the salt packet included with the frozen pretzels on top before baking for extra flavor.
Customize your sandwiches by adding additional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or pickles after baking.
These sandwiches are best served fresh and warm but can be reheated for a quick snack.
