Ham and Cheese Crescents Recipe

You are going to love these easy and delicious Ham and Cheese Crescents. This is a perfect summer meal because it’s so simple and comes together in just a few minutes. Also a perfect lunch for kids!

You know those days when you just can’t bear to eat another pb & j for lunch? Or dinnertime comes out of nowhere and you realize you have nothing to eat?! This is the perfect throw-together recipe for those times. Only 3 ingredients, and your main dish is served!

Ingredients needed for Ham and Cheese Crescents:

  • Crescent Roll Dough
  • Deli ham (you can also use leftover ham from a ham dinner)
  • Cheddar Cheese slices (or your favorite cheese)

How to make Ham and Cheese Crescents:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Crescent rolls separated into 8 equal pieces on sheet pan

Separate dough into 8 equal pieces (they usually separate into triangles)

Ham and Cheese layered on top of Crescent triangles on sheet pan

Place 2 slices of ham and take 1 slice of cheese (folded in half) on the larger end of the triangle.

Ham and Cheese Crescents rolled up on sheet pan ready to bake

Roll the crescent up with the ham and cheese inside, and place it tip side down on a baking sheet (I used a baking mat, but you could line it with foil for easy clean up too).

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and serve warm.

    I love your recipes. What I don't love is never getting to pin them because the photos don't load or Pinterest can't fetch them. Can you fix this? It has happened on several of your recipes now but other sites I have no problems.
