These crispy ham and cheese stuffed crescent rolls feature a flaky, buttery crust with gooey cheese and savory ham inside. Ready in under 25 minutes, they are perfect for quick dinners, snacks, or game-day appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tube (8 oz / 227 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 6 to 8 slices (about 6 oz / 170 g) deli ham, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 oz / 115 g)
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 2 oz / 57 g)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds or sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough onto a flat surface and separate the triangles along the perforations.
  3. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each triangle, if using.
  4. Layer one slice of ham onto each triangle, trimming if needed to fit.
  5. Sprinkle a generous pinch of the cheese blend over the ham, leaving a small border along the edges.
  6. Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point, tucking in the sides to keep the filling inside.
  7. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  8. Brush each roll with melted butter mixed with garlic powder.
  9. Sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top, if desired.
  10. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until rolls are puffed, golden brown, and cheese is melted.
  11. Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overfill the rolls to prevent leaking. Chill dough for 10 minutes if it becomes too soft. Brush rolls generously with butter mixed with garlic powder for a golden, crispy crust. Space rolls about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet for even crisping. Check rolls at 12 minutes to avoid burning. Rolls can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking; add a couple extra minutes to bake time if chilled. Freeze wrapped rolls for up to 2 months and reheat in oven.
