A quick and easy recipe for ham and cheese crescent roll-ups that are perfect for freezer meals, combining flaky crescent dough with savory ham and melty cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced ham (leftover or deli ham)
  • 6 ounces sliced cheese (sharp cheddar or Swiss recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon smooth Dijon or yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (Italian seasoning or dried oregano, optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and gently press the perforations together.
  3. Separate the dough into 8 triangles using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
  4. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of mustard on each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Add a slice of ham on top of the mustard on each triangle, then a slice of cheese.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of dried herbs and freshly ground black pepper over the cheese.
  7. Roll up each triangle starting from the widest edge, tucking in the sides slightly to keep the filling from leaking.
  8. Place the roll-ups on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
  9. Brush the tops with melted butter.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving or freezing.
  12. To freeze: place cooled roll-ups on a baking sheet in a single layer, freeze until solid (1-2 hours), then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag.
  13. To bake from frozen: bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes.

Notes

Let dough come to room temperature before rolling to prevent cracking. Brush with melted butter for a golden finish. Freeze in a single layer to prevent sticking. Watch baking time carefully to avoid drying out or underbaking. Mustard adds a subtle tang and enhances flavor.
