Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 tube crescent roll dough (8-count)
  • 16 deli ham slices
  • 8 cheddar cheese slices

Butter Glaze

  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to prepare for baking the crescent roll-ups.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the crescent dough pieces carefully to create a flat surface for layering.
  3. Layer Ham and Cheese: On each crescent dough piece, lay down two slices of deli ham, leaving space at both ends, then place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of the ham.
  4. Roll Up: Starting from the widest end of each dough piece, roll the dough tightly around the ham and cheese to envelop the fillings completely.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescents seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  6. Make Butter Mixture: Combine melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl, then brush this flavorful mixture over the tops of the rolls to enhance browning and taste.
  7. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the tops turn golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
  8. Rest and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to set before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with any cheese of your preference like mozzarella or Swiss.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture.
  • Serving with a dipping sauce like honey mustard or ranch can elevate these rolls.
  • Ensure rolls are sealed tightly to avoid filling leakage while baking.
