Ingredients

Scale

Rolls and Filling

  • 1 Can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
  • 16 Slices Ham or Deli Sliced Ham (two slices per crescent roll)
  • 4 Slices Cheddar Cheese (each slice cut into 4 equal pieces)

Seasoning

  • 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) to prepare for baking the crescent rolls.
  2. Prepare Crescent Rolls: Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the dough into 8 triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Add Ham and Cheese: Place two slices of ham on each crescent roll triangle. Then, add four small pieces of cheddar cheese on top of the ham.
  4. Roll Up Crescents: Starting at the wide end of each triangle, roll up the dough with the ham and cheese inside, forming crescent shapes. Place them spaced evenly apart on the baking sheet.
  5. Brush with Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic salt, and dried parsley. Brush this mixture generously over each rolled crescent to enhance flavor and add a golden finish.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your warm, cheesy ham crescent rolls!
