Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 1 (8 ounce) can crescent rolls
Filling
- 8 slices deli ham
- 8 slices deli Swiss cheese
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough carefully onto a flat surface, keeping the triangles intact for assembly.
- Add Ham: Place one slice of deli ham at the bottom, wider part of each crescent triangle, folding the ham over itself to fit neatly.
- Add Cheese: Cut each slice of Swiss cheese in half and place it on top of the ham on each triangle.
- Roll Crescents: Roll each triangle tightly from the bottom to the tip to form a crescent shape, then place each roll on the prepared sheet tray, spacing them apart so they do not touch.
- Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until combined and smooth.
- Brush Glaze: Brush the glaze generously over the top of each crescent roll, using all of the mixture for a flavorful finish.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and deliciously flaky.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the crescent rolls to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- You can substitute Swiss cheese with cheddar or provolone for a different flavor profile.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
- Serve with mustard or a dipping sauce of your choice for extra flavor.
- These crescent rolls can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
