For the Crescent Rolls

• 1 8-ounce can Crescent rolls
• 8 slices Deli ham
• 8 slices Deli Swiss cheese

For the Honey Mustard Glaze

• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• ¼ tsp Garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean, flat surface. This will make it easy to assemble the rolls.
3. Assemble Ham and Cheese: Place one slice of ham on the wider end of each crescent roll triangle. Fold the edges of the dough over the ham to enclose it.
4. Add Cheese: Cut each slice of Swiss cheese in half. Place one half slice on top of the ham on each triangle. This adds creamy flavor and melts beautifully while baking.
5. Roll Up: Roll each crescent roll tightly from the wide end to the narrow point, enclosing the ham and cheese securely. Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them so they do not touch.
6. Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until thoroughly combined. This glaze gives the rolls a delicious sweet and tangy crust.
7. Brush Glaze: Generously brush the honey mustard glaze over the top of each roll, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the rolls for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Cool: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This helps them set and makes them easier to handle.
10. Serve: Serve warm as a tasty appetizer or a quick lunch treat. Enjoy the combination of buttery dough, savory ham, melted Swiss cheese, and the flavorful glaze.

Notes

• These rolls are best enjoyed fresh and warm right after baking. For leftovers, reheat in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispness.
• Don’t skimp on the glaze—using all of it gives the rolls their signature sweet and tangy flavor and beautiful golden finish.
• You can substitute Swiss cheese with other mild melting cheeses like mozzarella or provolone if preferred.
• For a lighter option, try using reduced-fat deli ham and cheese.
