Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) Crescent roll dough
- 12 slices Deli ham slices
- 6 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 6 small Cherry tomatoes
- 1 sheet (for baking) Parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
On a clean surface, unroll the crescent roll dough from both cans. Separate the triangles and arrange them in a circular pattern on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. The wide ends of the triangles should overlap to form a ring, leaving a hole in the center like a wreath.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the wide ends of the crescent dough where they overlap.
Place one slice of ham on each dough triangle, folding the ham if necessary to fit. Add half a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each piece of ham.
Fold the pointed ends of each crescent triangle over the filling, tucking them under the wide ends of the dough to secure them. Once all triangles are folded, your wreath should look complete with a small filling peeking out from the folded dough.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the top of the dough with the egg wash to give it a golden, shiny finish once baked.
Bake the wreath in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove the wreath from the oven and let it cool slightly on the baking sheet. Carefully transfer it to a serving platter.
Garnish the wreath with chopped parsley to resemble greenery. Place cherry tomatoes around the wreath to mimic holly berries, adding a festive touch.
Serve warm and enjoy this delightful holiday centerpiece!
