Ingredients
Scale
Rolls and Filling
- 1 (8 ounce) can Crescent rolls
- 8 slices Deli ham
- 8 slices Deli Swiss cheese
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare for the rolls.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent rolls onto a clean work surface, keeping the triangles intact.
- Add Ham: Place one slice of deli ham on the wider part of each crescent dough triangle. Fold the edges around the ham slightly to help keep it inside.
- Add Cheese: Cut each slice of Swiss cheese in half and place one half on top of each slice of ham on the dough triangles.
- Roll Up: Starting at the wider end, roll each crescent dough triangle tightly around the ham and cheese filling. Arrange the rolled-up crescents on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch to allow even baking.
- Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until smooth and combined.
- Brush Glaze: Generously brush the glaze mixture over the tops of each roll, covering them evenly to create a flavorful crust.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to firm up slightly before serving.
- Serve: Serve the ham and cheese crescent roll ups warm as a tasty snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Ensure rolls are placed apart on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Use sharp kitchen scissors or a pizza cutter to easily cut the Swiss cheese slices in half.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top after glazing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
