What are Ham and Cheese Crescent Rolls?
Ham and cheese crescent rolls are a popular snack made by wrapping slices of ham and melted cheese in flaky, buttery crescent roll dough. The dough is usually pre-made and can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores. The ham and cheese filling is placed on top of the triangle-shaped dough and rolled up into a crescent shape before being baked in the oven until golden brown. They are often served as a quick and easy snack or party appetizer but can also make a delicious breakfast or lunch option.
How to Make Ham & Cheese Crescents
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In the meantime, you can line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Take a small bowl and mix the butter, garlic, and parsley.
Go ahead and roll out the crescent dough and separate it into around 12 triangles.
Place a slice of ham and cheese on each crescent roll.
Roll up the triangles and then place them on the baking pan. Brush the top of the rolls with butter. You can sprinkle some black sesame seeds onto them if you’d like.
Bake the rolls for around 12-15 minutes. You’ll want them to be golden brown on top. When they’re golden brown, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool!
