Description
These warm, cheesy Ham and Cheese Pinwheels are an easy and crowd-friendly snack that are perfect for brunch or quick gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tube Crescent roll dough (Refrigerated tube is the easiest to use.)
- 8 slices Ham (Deli slices or leftover ham work well.)
- 1 cup Cheese (Sliced or shredded cheese that melts well, like cheddar or Swiss.)
Optional Flavor Boosters
- 1 tablespoon Mustard or honey mustard (Adds great flavor.)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (Optional for extra creaminess.)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder or Italian seasoning (Optional for added flavor.)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (For brushing the top.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (or as directed on your crescent dough package). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough on a cutting board and press the seams together to form one rectangle. Let it rest for 2 minutes if it’s difficult to work with.
- Spread a thin layer of mustard or cream cheese over the dough.
- Layer ham slices evenly over the dough, followed by cheese.
- Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Tuck in the ends if they look messy.
- Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 1-inch pieces. If the log feels soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before slicing.
Baking
- Place the slices cut side up on the sheet pan and bake until golden and cheese is bubbling, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Allow pinwheels to cool for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, do not overfill the rolls. Chill the rolled log before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
