Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can Reduced-fat crescent roll dough
- 4 slices Low-fat sliced ham
- 4 slices Low-fat Swiss cheese
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 for greasing Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Open the can of reduced-fat crescent roll dough and separate the dough into 8 triangles.
Take one triangle of dough and place one slice of low-fat ham at the wide end.
Add a slice of low-fat Swiss cheese on top of the ham.
Roll the dough from the wide end to the tip, covering the ham and cheese completely. Repeat for the remaining dough triangles.
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Beat the egg white lightly and brush it over the tops of each croissant to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and cooked through.
Let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for the best taste.
