Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cans crescent roll dough
  2. 8 slices ham
  3. 8 slices cheese (Swiss or cheddar)
  4. 1 egg, beaten
  5. 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
  6. Mustard for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Open the cans of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll them on a clean surface. You will find that each can contains 8 triangular sections of dough.
  3. Take one triangle of crescent roll dough and place a slice of ham on the wider end of the triangle. Follow with a slice of cheese on top of the ham.
  4. Starting from the wider end, roll the dough triangle up towards the point, encasing the ham and cheese inside. Make sure to pinch the edges to seal the roll securely.
  5. Repeat the process for the remaining crescent roll triangles, ham, and cheese until all ingredients are used, resulting in 8 rolled sandwiches.
  6. Place the rolled sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for even baking.
  7. In a small bowl, beat the egg until well combined. Brush the beaten egg over the tops of the crescent roll sandwiches to give them a golden finish as they bake.
  8. If desired, sprinkle poppy seeds over the egg-washed sandwiches for added flavor and texture.
  9. Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.
  10. Once baked, remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
  11. Serve the baked ham and cheese crescent roll sandwiches warm, with mustard on the side for dipping if desired.

Tips

  1. For extra flavor, try using different cheese varieties like smoked gouda, pepper jack, or a blend of cheeses.
  2. Ensure your crescent roll edges are well-sealed to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
  3. Let the rolls cool for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning your mouth.
  4. For a fancy touch, experiment with different mustards or add a sprinkle of dried herbs like thyme or rosemary before baking.
  5. If you're meal prepping, these sandwiches can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
  6. Use high-quality deli ham for the best flavor and texture.
  7. For a golden, shiny crust, don't skip the egg wash - it's the secret to that beautiful bakery-style finish!
