CRANBERRY, HAM AND SWISS CRESCENT ROLLS



Cranberry, Ham and Swiss Crescent Rolls image

Still have leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving? Use it in these sweet-and-savory crescent rolls! They're delicious, super-easy to make and come together in just about 30 minutes.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 30m

Yield 8 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 8-ounce tube refrigerated crescent-roll dough
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cranberry sauce
8 slices Black Forest ham
8 slices Swiss cheese, cut from the short side of a rectangular block, each about 1/4 inch thick
Dijon mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut along the perforated lines to separate it into individual triangles. Arrange each triangle on a work surface with the short side closest to you.
  • Place about 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce on each triangle and use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly over the dough, leaving 1 inch of the tip bare. Place a piece of ham on the short side of the dough on top of the cranberry sauce and top with a slice of cheese. Wrap the sides of the ham over the short ends of the cheese to keep it intact.
  • Start from the short side of the dough and roll it up and over to encase the ham and cheese. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is slightly oozing, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to a serving platter and serve with Dijon mustard.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, brush the crescent dough with melted butter before baking.
  • If you don't have a crescent dough sheet, you can use puff pastry dough instead.
  • For a cheesier flavor, use a combination of Swiss and cheddar cheese.
  • To add more flavor to the filling, add some chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or chives.
  • Serve the ham and Swiss crescent braid warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

The ham and Swiss crescent braid is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's always a hit with kids and adults alike. With its flaky crescent dough, melted cheese, and savory ham filling, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
