Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Roll-Ups
- 1 tube crescent roll dough (8-count)
- 16 deli ham slices
- 8 cheddar cheese slices
Butter Topping
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to prepare for baking the crescent roll-ups.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the crescent dough pieces to ready them for filling.
- Add the Ham and Cheese: Lay two slices of deli ham on each crescent dough piece, leaving some dough visible at both ends. Top the ham with one slice of cheddar cheese.
- Roll Up the Crescents: Starting from the widest end, carefully roll up the dough to encase the ham and cheese inside, forming neat rolls.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Put the rolled crescents on a parchment-lined baking sheet, evenly spaced.
- Brush with Butter Mixture: Combine melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley, then brush this mixture generously over the tops of each roll.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the baked roll-ups from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly.
Notes
- You can substitute the ham with turkey or chicken slices if preferred.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a bit of shredded Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
- Serve with mustard or a dipping sauce of your choice for added taste.
- Ensure not to overfill the crescents to prevent bursting during baking.
- Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
