4.9 from 145 reviews

Delicious Ham and Cheese Crescent Rolls featuring flaky, buttery crescent dough filled with savory ham and cheddar cheese, brushed with garlic butter and topped with parsley for a perfect appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Rolls and Filling

  • 1 Can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
  • 16 Slices Ham or Deli Sliced Ham (about 8 crescent rolls, 2 slices each)
  • 4 Slices Cheddar Cheese (each slice cut into 4 equal pieces)

Topping

  • 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried Parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s fully heated before placing the crescent rolls inside for even baking.
  2. Prepare Crescent Dough: Open the can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and separate the dough into triangles along the perforations on the pre-cut dough sheet.
  3. Add Ham and Cheese: Place two slices of ham on each crescent roll triangle. Then add four small slices of cheddar cheese on top of the ham evenly distributed.
  4. Roll Up: Starting at the wide end of each dough triangle, carefully roll up towards the point, encasing the ham and cheese inside. Place each rolled crescent on an ungreased baking sheet with the point underneath to prevent unrolling.
  5. Brush with Garlic Butter: Mix the melted butter with garlic salt and dried parsley. Using a brush, generously coat each crescent roll with this garlic butter mixture to enhance flavor and promote browning.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm as an appetizer, snack, or party treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar with any cheese of your preference such as Swiss, mozzarella, or pepper jack.
  • If you prefer less salty, reduce the garlic salt or substitute with garlic powder.
  • Make sure to seal the crescent rolls well to prevent the ham and cheese from leaking out during baking.
  • Serve with mustard or a dipping sauce of your choice for added flavor.
