Description:
I adopted this recipe back in August 2006 from CBW, who originally shared it. These delightful crescents stuffed with ham and cheddar cheese are not only quick to make but also incredibly delicious. They make for a perfect snack or appetizer, especially when served alongside a bowl of hot soup. My husband particularly enjoys dipping them in spicy mustard, adding an extra kick to the flavors.

Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
-
Prepare the crescents: Open the can of refrigerated crescent dinner rolls and separate them into 8 triangles.
-
Stuff the crescents: Place a slice of ham and about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese on each triangle of dough.
-
Roll the crescents: Starting from the shortest side of the triangle, loosely roll the dough towards the opposite point, enclosing the ham and cheese filling inside.
-
Arrange on baking sheet: Place the filled crescents on an ungreased cookie sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for even baking.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the crescents from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm, cheesy delights on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some herbs or spices on top of the cheese before rolling up the crescents.
- Feel free to customize the filling by adding ingredients like sliced tomatoes, bell peppers, or even cooked bacon.
- These crescents are best served fresh out of the oven, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
