Description
Golden, flaky crescent rolls filled with leftover ham and cheese, perfect for a quick snack or light meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover ham, diced (about 8 oz–10 oz)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or a mix)
- 1 package crescent roll dough (usually 8 triangles)
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or neutral oil)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix diced ham and shredded cheese. Season lightly with black pepper; salt only if your ham isn’t salty.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into eight triangles. Press any perforations so seams don’t open while baking.
- Place a heaping tablespoon of the ham-and-cheese mixture on the wide end of each triangle. Don’t overfill — leave room to roll.
- Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point, tucking the point under the roll. Set each roll seam-side down on the prepared sheet.
- Whisk together the Dijon, honey, and olive oil until smooth. Brush the glaze over each roll, reserving a little for after baking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crescents are puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately brush with the remaining glaze. Serve warm.
