Turn ordinary weeknight cravings into a flaky, cheesy delight with these irresistible Ham Cheese Crescents! Made with just six simple ingredients—including buttery crescent roll dough, savory ham, and melty cheddar cheese—this recipe is a breeze to prepare in under 30 minutes. Each crescent is rolled to perfection and brushed with a garlic butter glaze infused with dried parsley, creating a golden-brown finish that's as visually appealing as it is delicious. These warm, gooey crescents are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or a quick meal on busy days. Easy to make and endlessly crowd-pleasing, they're sure to become a go-to favorite in your kitchen.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles as per the perforated lines.
Cut each slice of cheddar cheese in half, so you have 8 smaller pieces.
Place one slice of ham and one half-slice of cheddar cheese onto the wider end of each crescent triangle.
Roll each triangle towards the narrow tip, gently tucking the ham and cheese inside as you roll. Place the rolled crescents seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave (about 10-15 seconds). Stir in garlic powder and dried parsley.
Brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of each crescent, ensuring even coverage.
Bake the crescents in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
