Flaky crescent dough hugs ham and cheddar in this quick, crowd-pleasing dinner idea.
# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Dough and Filling
01 -
1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
02 -
16 slices deli ham
03 -
8 slices cheddar cheese
→ Butter Coating
04 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
05 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Unroll crescent dough and separate into individual triangles. Place them on a flat surface with the wide ends facing you.
03 -
Place 2 slices of deli ham and 1 slice of cheddar cheese on each triangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the edges.
04 -
Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle toward the tip, enclosing the filling. Position the tip underneath each roll to seal.
05 -
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley until well combined.
06 -
Place roll-ups on prepared baking sheet without touching. Brush each generously with the butter mixture.
07 -
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Check at 10 minutes to prevent overbaking.
08 -
Let roll-ups rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow cheese to set and prevent burning.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Avoid overstuffing the crescents to ensure proper sealing and avoid leakage during baking.
02 -
Letting the dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes makes it easier to handle.
03 -
For best flavor, use freshly sliced deli ham and real cheddar cheese.
