Scale

Rolls and Filling

1 8-ounce can Crescent rolls
8 slices Deli ham
8 slices Deli Swiss cheese

Glaze

2 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp Honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
¼ tsp Garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean, flat surface, spreading out the triangles without separating them.
Assemble Ham: Place one slice of deli ham on the wider end of each crescent triangle. Fold the edges of the dough over the ham to secure it.
Add Cheese: Cut each slice of Swiss cheese in half, then place one piece atop each ham slice on the dough triangles.
Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll up each crescent roll tightly around the ham and cheese, then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced apart so they don’t stick during baking.
Mix Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
Apply Glaze: Use a pastry brush to generously brush the glaze mixture evenly over the tops of each crescent roll up.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.
Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to set before serving.
Serve: Serve warm as a delicious appetizer, snack, or alongside a salad for a light meal.

Notes

For a different cheese option, try sharp cheddar or provolone.
You can add a sprinkle of poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top for extra crunch and flavor.
Ensure the rolls have space on the baking sheet to allow even baking and browning.
If you prefer a spicier glaze, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
Use fresh parchment paper for best results and easy cleanup.
