I usually keep a can of crescent rolls around in case I ever
need to go MacGyver on something. There have been many evenings when Husband
and I have wanted something sweet and those crescents have become cinnamon
apple swirls or chocolate chip turnovers.
And sometimes I use them with hotdogs to make Hogs-in-a-Bedspread (what
I call the bigger version of Pigs-in-a-Blanket).
I’ve never blogged about any of these because most folks can
manage stuff like that on their own but when I made these Ham & Cheddar
Roll-Ups yesterday I decided to dress them up with a dipping sauce and that is
what really knocked my socks off.
I wanted a cross between honey
mustard and honey butter so I
just mixed equal parts butter, honey and mustard and viola, it was exactly what I was looking for. It’s sweet and tangy
and creamy all at the same time. Holla!
I think I’m going to keep these in mind for appetizers. You can use the mini-crescents and make
smaller roll-ups and serve them on a platter with a bowl of the dipping sauce.
Ham & Cheddar Roll-Ups
with Honey Butter Dipping
Sauce
1 can crescent rolls
24 thin slices smoked ham
1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
Cooking spray
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons butter*, softened
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray
with cooking spray. To assemble roll-ups, separate dough triangles from the can
of crescent rolls. Sprinkle cheddar
cheese on each triangle. Folding ham slices to fit, arrange 3 slices of ham on
each triangle. Starting at the wide end,
roll triangles and place each roll-up on the cooking sheet with the end point
of the dough tucked under the roll-up to prevent it from opening up during
cooking (see picture below). Bake at 375 degrees for 11-12
minutes.
To prepare dipping sauce, whisk together honey, butter and
mustard in a microwave safe bowl.
Mixture will likely be grainy.
Microwave for 20 seconds and whisk until smooth. You may have to microwave for an additional 20
seconds if the mixture doesn’t whisk together smoothly.
Oh my, these look scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteThese would be great for lunch with the kiddos too. Can't wait to try them.
ReplyDeleteMy grandkids love ham and cheese so this will be a new way to try for them. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI am going to make these for my kids for lunch tomorrow! So fun!
ReplyDeleteWe certainly are going to make these,
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious um um
I am a HUGE crescent roll fan, I use them in anything I can and have already shared several of those creations on my blog. I also LOVE honey mustard so I will definitely be trying these!
ReplyDeletei've not heard of Crescent rolls in England - can you explain what they are and suggest how i might make my own because these look delish!
ReplyDeleteIt's like semi-prepared croissant dough you buy uncooked. You can cook them as little short-cut croissants or use the dough to make other stuff. Here's a US manufacturer that makes them. Maybe they have a UK site too?? http://www.pillsbury.com/Products/Crescents
