Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. -
Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Optionally, brush dough edges with melted butter. -
Assemble the Rolls:
Place a ham strip on the wide end of each dough triangle. Top with a slice of cheese. Add optional Dijon mustard or spinach if desired. Roll tightly from the wide end, tucking the point underneath. -
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Place rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if using. -
Bake:
Bake in preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is bubbling. Rotate pan halfway through. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Let cool slightly. Serve warm with toothpicks or alongside a salad, soup, or fruit platter.
Notes
-
Keep ham and cheese slices thin to ensure easy rolling.
-
Mix up the cheese types—cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère are all great options.

For extra flavor, mustard or greens add a gourmet twist
