Ingredients:
- 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz)
- 6-8 slices of deli ham
- 6-8 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite type)
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Dough:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a flat surface and separate it into rectangles (typically, the dough will be perforated for easy separation).
- Assemble the Pinwheels:
- If you like, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the dough.
- Place a slice of ham on each rectangle of dough.
- Place a slice of cheese on top of the ham.
- Roll the Dough:
- Starting from the shorter side, roll each rectangle tightly into a log.
- Slice each log into 4-5 equal pieces.
- Egg Wash:
- Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg to give them a nice golden color when baked.
- If desired, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- You can customize the filling with your favorite ingredients, such as adding sliced green onions, spinach, or other types of cheese.
- For a spicy kick, you can add a layer of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce before rolling up the dough.
Enjoy your delicious Ham and Cheese Pinwheels!
