Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup sliced deli ham (honey or black forest recommended)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your preferred blend)

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a hint of sweetness)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme or oregano)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.

    Prepare your baking sheet: Take a baking sheet and either line it with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

      Roll out the dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough carefully, and unroll it onto a clean, flat surface. You should have two large rectangles. Pinch the perforations together firmly to seal the seams, ensuring they stay intact during baking.

        Spread the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and honey (if using), mixing until well incorporated. Spread a thin, even layer of this mixture over each of the crescent roll rectangles.

          Layer the fillings: Evenly distribute the sliced ham over the mustard-coated rectangles. Follow with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of the ham. Enhance the flavor by evenly dusting the mixture with garlic powder, dried herbs, and a touch of freshly cracked black pepper.

            Cut the rolls: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, slice each rectangle into 8 smaller triangles. This will make rolling easier and create individual servings.

              Roll the crescents: Start at the wide end of each triangle and gently roll it toward the narrow point, forming a classic crescent shape. Place the rolled crescents onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart for even baking.

                Apply the egg wash: Brush the tops of each crescent roll with the beaten egg. This will give them a lovely golden color and a glossy finish when baked.

                  Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are puffed up and have reached a beautiful golden brown color.

                    Serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Enjoy these warm, either as a delightful appetizer or a tasty snack!
