Ingredient Amount
Crescent roll dough 2 cans
Deli ham 12 slices (about ¾ lb)
Pepper jack cheese 16 slices (see notes)
Dijon mustard 2–3 tablespoons
Butter 3 tablespoons
Garlic (finely minced) 1 clove
Parsley (fresh or dried) 2 tsp fresh or 1 tsp dried
Instructions
Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bake the Base Layer
Roll out one can of crescent dough directly onto the parchment-lined sheet. Bake for 7–8 minutes until lightly golden.
Layer the Filling
Remove from oven and spread Dijon mustard evenly over the baked dough.
Layer half the cheese slices over the mustard.
Fold each slice of ham and arrange evenly over the cheese.
Top with the remaining cheese slices.
Add the Top Layer
Roll out the second can of crescent dough and place it gently over the filling.
Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in minced garlic and parsley.
Brush generously over the top layer of dough.
Bake to Perfection
Return to oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Cool & Serve
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes & Tips
Cheese Options: Pepper jack adds a little kick, but feel free to swap in cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella.
Make Ahead: Assemble ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Storage: Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days—reheat in the oven for best texture.
