Ham and Swiss Cheese Crescent Roll-Ups Recipe

Introduction

Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll Ups are a quick and delicious snack perfect for any time of day. With gooey Swiss cheese and savory ham wrapped in flaky crescent dough, they’re sure to be a hit at your table.

A long, golden-brown croissant is sliced into individual pieces arranged in one row on a wooden board. Each piece has three visible layers: the top layer is shiny and crispy with a speckled pattern of lightly browned crust; the middle layer reveals melted, creamy pale yellow cheese oozing out nearby soft pink ham slices; the bottom layer is flaky, light, and slightly toasted dough. Small green herb sprinkles are scattered on top, adding color contrast. In the blurry white marbled background, there are three small white bowls with different sauces and some green parsley leaves. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

How to Serve

A long, golden-brown braided pastry is filled with folded layers of pink ham and melted creamy cheese. The pastry is shiny and slightly crispy on top, with some green parsley sprinkled over it and a few coarse salt grains visible. The braid is cut into individual sections making each piece peek open to show the delicious filling inside. The pastry sits on a wooden board, placed on a white marbled surface, with small white bowls of honey or sauce blurred in the background. A white cloth and some parsley leaves are also around the scene. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
