Total Time:25 minutes
Yield:8 rolls
Ingredients
Rolls
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
8 slices deli ham
8 slices cheese (Swiss or Cheddar)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and carefully separate it into 8 individual triangles.
Add Mustard: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard evenly over each triangle to add a tangy flavor base.
Assemble Rolls: Place one slice of deli ham and one slice of cheese on each mustard-covered triangle.
Roll Up: Starting from the widest end, roll up each triangle tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside, and place each roll on the prepared baking sheet.
Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each roll with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden-brown shine when baked.
Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted completely.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
Use Swiss or Cheddar cheese depending on your preference for a mild or sharp flavor.
Make sure to brush the egg wash thoroughly for a nice golden color and glossy finish.
You can add herbs like thyme or parsley inside for an extra flavor boost.
Serve these rolls with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad to complete your breakfast.
Ensure rolls are baked fully to melt the cheese and crisp the dough without burning.
