Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet or crescent roll dough (Refrigerated)
- 8 slices Deli ham (Or leftover baked ham)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (Shredded or thin slices)
Optional Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or honey mustard (Optional spread)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (Optional seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (Optional seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (Optional seasoning)
- 1 egg Egg for wash (Optional but makes them shiny)
Instructions
Preparation
- Thaw or prep the dough. If using puff pastry, thaw it in the fridge until it is flexible but still cool. If using crescent dough, just pop the tube and unroll gently.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the dough.
- Layer the ham and cheddar evenly, leaving a small border at one edge to seal the roll.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side, but do not crush it.
- Chill the rolled dough in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes to firm it up.
- Slice the rolled dough into about three-quarter inch pieces and place them cut side up.
- Bake at the temperature indicated on your dough package (usually around 375°F to 400°F) until golden and bubbly.
Notes
Keep the dough cold and do not overload the filling. Use an egg wash for a bakery look and rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning.
