Ham and Cheese Crescent Braid
Packed with savory ham, gooey cheese, and wrapped in buttery crescent dough, you're going to love this Ham and Cheese Crescent Braid!
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent rolls
- 1 ½ c. precooked or deli ham chopped
- 1 c. cheddar cheese
- ¼ c. honey mustard plus extra for dipping
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Unroll the crescent dough sheet onto the parchment paper, and press the seams together.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped ham, cheese, and honey mustard. Stir to combine.
- Drop the ham and cheese mixture by large spoonfuls down the middle of the crescent sheet. Reserve about 2-3 tablespoon of the ham and cheese and set aside for topping.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut strips along each side of the dough. Braid the strips over the ham and cheese mixture. Top the braid with the ham and cheese you reserved earlier.
- Bake for 16-20 minutes, until the crescent dough is golden brown. Enjoy!
Notes
- Customize the filling to suit your taste preferences. You can add ingredients like diced bell peppers, onions, or even cooked bacon for extra flavor.
- Do not overstuff the crescent braid with the filling. Too much filling can cause the dough to tear or the braid to become soggy. Use just enough filling to cover the dough evenly.
