Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounces) crescent roll dough
- 8 slices sliced turkey or ham
- 4 slices sliced cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
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 4 rectangles (each rectangle uses 2 crescent triangles). Press the perforated seams together to seal.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese onto each rectangle of dough. If desired, spread Dijon mustard on top of the cream cheese.
Place 2 slices of turkey or ham on one half of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top the meat with 1 slice of cheese (fold the slice if necessary to fit).
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal.
In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in garlic powder and dried parsley (if using). Brush this mixture over the tops of the pockets.
Place the pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pockets cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as-is or with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or honey mustard.
