Description
A quick, budget-friendly dinner made with crescent rolls, ham, Swiss cheese, and a hint of sweetness, offering the comfort of a Monte Cristo sandwich without the hassle of deep-frying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8–10 slices deli ham
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- Whole grain or Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons raspberry or grape jelly
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface and separate into triangles.
- Gently stretch each triangle into a larger rectangle.
- Place one slice of Swiss cheese on each rectangle.
- Lay two slices of ham over the cheese.
- Spread a thin layer of mustard over the ham.
- Starting from the wide end, roll the dough up tightly toward the point.
- Pinch the seam and tip to seal the roll-up.
- Place roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk egg with water and brush the tops of the roll-ups with the egg wash.
- Brush the tops with melted butter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool for a minute before serving with jelly for dipping.
Notes
Ensure dough is cold when starting to prevent sticking. Do not overfill to avoid leaking. For best results, serve warm. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen unbaked.
