Ham And Cheese Roll Ups

Ingredients

• 8 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough – chilled
• 6 ounces deli ham – thinly sliced
• 4 ounces cheddar cheese – cut into 16 thin strips
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter – melted
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, and dried parsley until smooth. Set aside.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a work surface and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations.
4. Cut the ham slices into pieces that fit comfortably on each crescent triangle, then place an even layer of ham over each triangle, leaving a small border at the edges.
5. Place one strip of cheddar cheese along the wide end of each triangle on top of the ham.
6. Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up snugly toward the point, enclosing the ham and cheese inside. Tuck the ends slightly if needed to help keep the filling in.
7. Arrange the roll ups on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
8. Brush the tops and sides of each roll up generously with the butter-mustard mixture.
9. Bake the roll ups in the preheated oven for 11–14 minutes, until the dough is puffed, deep golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbling at the edges.
10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the roll ups cool for 5 minutes so the cheese can set slightly.
11. Serve the ham and cheese roll ups warm as a snack or light meal. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a 325°F (165°C) oven for 8–10 minutes until warmed through.
