Notes
- Servings: The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 2 ham and cheese crescent rolls. Actual calories will vary.
- Garlic Butter: The garlic butter topping adds extra flavor but is optional.
- Dijon Mustard: The Dijon mustard can also be left off if you don't have it handy.
- Ham: Try to use ham that doesn't release a lot of liquid as it cooks. If a lot of liquid is released, the crescent rolls can become soggy.
- Cheese: It's normal for the cheese to ooze out as it melts. Parchment paper works well for cleanup and keeps the cheese from sticking to the pan.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes for the best texture. The microwave works but may soften the rolls.
