Ingredients
  

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

6 oz sliced deli ham

6 oz shredded cheese (choose from cheddar, Swiss, or a blend of your favorites)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional for added zest)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 egg (for egg wash)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your rolls cook evenly and achieve a lovely golden finish.

    Prepare the Crescent Dough: Carefully open the crescent roll dough package. Unroll the dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines. Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet that has been lightly greased or lined with parchment paper.

      Enhance the Ham: If you choose to use it, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the base of each triangle. This optional step adds a delightful tanginess to the flavors.

        Assemble the Filling: On the wider end of each triangle, place a slice of deli ham. Follow this with a generous handful of shredded cheese. For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle garlic powder, dried parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper over the cheese.

          Roll Them Up: Starting from the wide end of the triangle, roll the dough towards the pointed tip, encasing the ham and cheese filling. Once rolled, place the crescent on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pointed tip is tucked underneath to secure the roll during baking.

            Brush with Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg until well combined. Using a pastry brush, gently coat the tops of the crescent rolls with the egg wash. This will give them a glossy and enticing golden color once baked.

              Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed up and golden brown.

                Enjoy: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. These savory ham and cheese rolls can be served warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for any occasion.
