Equipment

  3. Place the top half of the rolls over the fillings.
  4. Whisk melted butter, Dijon mustard, onion powder, and Worcestershire for the glaze.
  5. Pour the glaze over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and sesame seeds.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.

  8. Let cool slightly, cut, and serve warm.

Notes

Can be assembled (excluding the glaze/seeds) up to 24 hours ahead of time. The **thick gooey cheese** and **viscous cranberry sauce** are key to this recipe's flavor.
