Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray or butter.
-
Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the dough into two sheets if necessary, then seal the perforated seams with your fingers to create a smooth rectangle.
-
Lay the thinly sliced ham evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border at the edges.
-
Spread the prepared mustard thinly and evenly over the ham layer.
-
Sprinkle the shredded American cheese evenly over the mustard and ham.
-
Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough up into a log, pressing gently to secure the filling inside.
-
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 18 slices, each about 3/4 inch thick.
-
Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
-
Sprinkle the tops with caraway seeds, sesame seeds, or poppy seeds for added flavor and texture.
-
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
