Delicious Ham and Cheese Breakfast Rolls made with flaky crescent roll dough, savory deli ham, and melted cheese, perfect for a quick and satisfying morning meal or snack.

Ingredients

Rolls

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 slices deli ham
  • 8 slices cheese (Swiss or Cheddar)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations.
  3. Spread Mustard: Evenly spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over each triangle to add a subtle tangy flavor.
  4. Add Ham and Cheese: Place one slice of deli ham and one slice of cheese onto each triangle of dough.
  5. Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle tightly into a crescent shape and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden finish once baked.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the breakfast rolls warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute ham with turkey or chicken slices for a different flavor.
  • Use your favorite cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for variation.
  • If you don’t have Dijon mustard, a mild yellow mustard or mayonnaise works as a substitute.
  • For a crispier crust, bake the rolls directly on a baking stone or oven rack, using parchment paper underneath to catch drips.
  • These rolls are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
