Description
Easy and delicious ham and cheese pinwheels made with crescent roll dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed)
- 8 thin slices deli ham (like Black Forest or honey ham)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or cream cheese (optional, for spreading)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface. If using perforated dough, press the seams together to form one solid sheet.
- If using, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or softened cream cheese evenly over the dough.
- Layer the ham slices evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese and optional dried herbs evenly over the ham.
- Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log, using the parchment paper to help if needed. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the log into ½-inch to 1-inch thick rounds. You should get about 12-16 pinwheels.
- Place the pinwheels cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Brush the tops lightly with melted butter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed up and golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- These pinwheels can be served as a snack or party appetizer.
- Feel free to customize the filling with other ingredients such as vegetables or different meats.
