Ingredients
  • 2 oz Boiled ham, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons Prepared mustard
  • 1 1/2 oz Processed American cheese
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray or butter.
  2. 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. 3
    Layer the thinly sliced boiled ham evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
  4. 4
    Spread the prepared mustard thinly and evenly over the ham layer.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle the shredded processed American cheese uniformly over the mustard-covered ham.
  6. 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. 7
    Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 18 even pinwheels, each approximately 3/4 inch thick.
  8. 8
    Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for expansion.
  9. 9
    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  10. 10
    Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving warm.
