→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
02 -
8 slices deli ham
03 -
8 sticks mozzarella or cheddar cheese
04 -
1 tablespoon mustard, optional
→ Garlic Butter Topping (Optional)
05 -
1 tablespoon melted butter
06 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 -
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
08 -
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F or air fryer to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease the air fryer basket. Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles or rectangles.
02 -
Spread a thin layer of mustard over each piece of dough if desired. Place one slice of ham on each, folding to fit, then add a cheese stick on top.
03 -
Carefully roll dough over the filling, tucking sides to fully enclose cheese. Press the edges securely to seal.
04 -
Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a small bowl. Brush mixture onto tops of rolls and sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan cheese.
05 -
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown, or air fry 2–4 sticks at a time for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through. Allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure cheese is fully enclosed in dough to prevent leakage during baking.
