Description

These Ham-Cheese Crescent Pinwheels are the ultimate easy appetizer or lunchbox snack, combining the convenience of refrigerated dough with classic savory flavors. Thinly sliced boiled ham provides a salty, tender bite, while processed American cheese melts into a creamy, gooey center. A light smear of prepared mustard adds a sharp tang that cuts through the richness of the buttery crescent dough. The result is a flaky, golden-brown spiral that is addictive and satisfying. Perfect for game day gatherings, potlucks, or a quick weeknight dinner paired with a simple salad. They come together in minutes and bake up fast, making them a reliable crowd-pleaser that requires minimal effort for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a clean work surface and press the perforated seams together to seal the dough into a single rectangle.
  3. Layer the thinly sliced boiled ham evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
  4. Spread the prepared mustard thinly and evenly over the ham layer.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded processed American cheese uniformly over the mustard-covered ham.
  6. Starting from the long edge of the dough, roll it up tightly into a log, ensuring the edges are sealed to prevent filling from leaking.
  7. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 18 even pinwheels, each approximately 3/4 inch thick.
  8. Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for expansion.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving warm.
