Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Optionally, brush dough edges with melted butter.
Assemble the Rolls:
Place a ham strip on the wide end of each dough triangle. Top with a slice of cheese. Add optional Dijon mustard or spinach if desired. Roll tightly from the wide end, tucking the point underneath.
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Place rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if using.
Bake:
Bake in preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is bubbling. Rotate pan halfway through.
Serve and Enjoy:
Let cool slightly. Serve warm with toothpicks or alongside a salad, soup, or fruit platter.

Notes

Keep ham and cheese slices thin to ensure easy rolling.
Mix up the cheese types—cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère are all great options.
For extra flavor, mustard or greens add a gourmet twist.
