Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices of ham
- 8 slices of cheese
- 1 package of crescent roll dough
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles, ensuring they are intact.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each crescent roll triangle, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow.
- Place one slice of ham on each dough triangle, ensuring it covers most of the surface area.
- Layer one slice of cheese on top of the ham, matching the ham's dimensions.
- Starting from the wider end of the triangle, carefully roll the dough towards the pointed end, tucking in the sides to seal the filling inside.
- Arrange the rolled-up crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each rollup to allow even baking.
- If desired, sprinkle poppy seeds over the top of each rollup for added texture and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Ham and Cheese Rollups as a quick appetizer or light meal.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier rolling and more even cooking.
- Don't overfill the crescents - this can cause them to burst open during baking.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different mustards or add a sprinkle of herbs like thyme or rosemary.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated for consistent browning.
- Let the rollups rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- For a crispy exterior, brush the tops with an egg wash before sprinkling poppy seeds.
- These rollups are best served immediately but can be reheated in an oven (not microwave) to maintain their crispness.
