Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

4 oz cooked ham, thinly sliced or diced

4 oz Swiss cheese, shredded

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Optional: sesame seeds or poppy seeds for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded Swiss cheese, diced ham, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly blended into a creamy filling.

      Roll Out the Dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean, dry surface. Gently separate the dough into 8 individual triangles, making sure not to tear them.

        Fill the Rolls: At the wide end of each triangle, spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the ham and cheese filling. Starting at the wide end, roll the dough towards the pointed end, tucking in the sides as you roll to form a crescent shape. Place the finished rolls on the prepared baking sheet with the pointed end facing down to secure the filling.

          Brush with Egg Wash: Using a pastry brush, apply a layer of the beaten egg over the top of each crescent roll. This will give them a beautiful golden-brown color as they bake. If you like added texture, sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top before baking.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and a rich golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. For an extra touch, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley right before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve these warm, delightful rolls as an irresistible appetizer or snack at your next gathering!
