These ham and cheese roll ups combine flaky dough, gooey cheese, and savory ham for a quick, crowd-pleasing snack or party appetizer.

Ingredients

  • Refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • Sliced ham
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
  • Egg wash (optional)
  • Seasonings (optional: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sesame seeds)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface. If using puff pastry, lightly flour the surface to prevent sticking.
  3. Lay slices of ham evenly over the dough, covering as much surface as possible. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top.
  4. Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Press the seam gently to seal.
  5. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the log into 1-inch pieces. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each roll.
  6. Brush the tops of the roll ups with beaten egg for a golden finish (optional).
  7. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
  8. Let the roll ups cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor!

Notes

Use cold dough for easier rolling and flakier results. Avoid overfilling to prevent bursting during baking. Experiment with toppings like sesame seeds or Parmesan for added flavor.
