Party Ham Rolls Charcuterie Board
Everyone loves to make their own sandwiches, and ham and cheese on a roll (or bun) is a Christmas classic!
Some more fun party ideas are my Rolled Flatbread Cubano Sandwich Recipe or Easy Lobster Roll Recipe for the holidays!
Plan ahead for a party charcuterie board
All it takes is a little planning to make a charcuterie board, but ultimately it’s easy, and anything that involves dinner rolls, ham and cheese, is a big hit in our home!
My mom served Rhodes Rolls at every holiday dinner when I was a kid. There are so many varieties, Bake and Serve, Thaw and Rise, Buy and Store, but today on our epic charcuterie board, we are serving Rhodes Warm-N-Serv Artisan French Rolls, home-baked rolls heated in just minutes.
What are the best dinner rolls to buy
These Rhodes Warm-N-Serv Artisan French Rolls are crunchy crusted and soft, with a moist center, so good with ham and cheese. Don’t forget the pickles.
The Artisan French Rolls are available in 6-count and 12-count bags, but today for this charcuterie board, we used two 12-count bags!
How to bake French Rolls
Rhodes Bake-N-Serv® Warm & Serve Rolls are already baked, then frozen, so this makes hosting super easy.
- Just take the rolls from the freezer.
- Place them on a pan and into your preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes, until golden brown.
- There’s always the microwave method too (for only a minute).
- For one roll, microwave for 25-30 seconds.
- No thawing or rising required!
How to bake thawed dinner rolls
- If rolls are thawed, bake for less time, about 3-4 minutes at 400˚F.
- For Softer Crust: Brush with melted butter or margarine before baking.
- Want a Crispy Crust: Brush with water before baking.
But wait, they are just as good served cold, so if you want to make this board up ahead of time, you’re good!

You could also build a beautiful Rectangle one using a vintage picture frame. Then you could actually use a mirror, glass, or plexiglass on the bottom that would be food safe. You would just have to treat the frame. Maybe add some handles if you wished. If you went with the mirror and no handles you could multi purpose it.
The tray from Pier 1 is beautiful but it says “not for food use” in the description. Does the bees wax and mineral oil make it suitable for serving food on? It is too expensive if I can’t use it for serving food. The description doesn’t say why it’s Not for food use. Thanks for any information on this.
As with any wood board, you can sand it down and season with beeswax and mineral oil before using. You can also lay parchment paper down if you’re wanting to try that method. ENJOY!
Do you line your tray before putting food on it or how did you make it Food Safe?
I just bought my Courtland tray from Pier 1 and I LOVE it! You make anything you put on it look amazing!
You can or you can season it with beeswax and minteral oil (lightly sand first), which is what I did.
I wanted to share that Pier 1 still carries the same amazing tray! I just purchased mine today and cannot wait to host guests so I can use it!!
I am having trouble finding a large round wood tray (the size of yours).
Any suggestions on where to buy?
I bought it in the store at Pier 1.
I bought mine at Home Goods.
I keep my crackers and breads on a separate dish ( small Victorian bone dishes are great for this!)… I’m always afraid they’ll get soggy if they’re up against the wet meats and cheeses.
How do you prevent this?
I haven’t had a problem with anything soggy! But sounds like a good idea, Kathy! Thanks for sharing!
