These easy and delicious Ham and Cheese Crescent Rolls are a breeze to throw together and perfect for the whole family!
I've been making a version of these delightful crescent rolls for years and am excited to finally share them with you on the blog. They are seriously so easy to make and while they're great any time of the year I especially love making them for the kids during the holidays.
This recipe is easy to double or even triple to feed a crowd. While I love the classic combination of ham and cheddar feel free to get creative with other deli meats and cheeses. Enjoy!

Equipment
For this recipe you will need a baking sheet and a cutting board with a sharp knife.
Ingredients
- Crescent rolls: I personally really prefer Annie's Crescent Rolls for this recipe. They have good ingredients and great flavor.
- Deli ham: My favorite meat to use for this recipe is Applegate's Black Forest Ham.
- Dijon mustard: You can also use plain yellow mustard if you prefer.
- Cheese slices: I like using Sargento Cheddar Slices but you can use your favorite brand of cheese.
- Butter: My favorite is Kerrygold Salted Butter.
- Spices: I like to use garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- Poppy seeds (optional): These are optional but they add a nice flavor and texture.
Alternate Options
I love the classic ham and cheddar combination but you could also do turkey and swiss or roast beef and provolone. The sky is the limit!
You can also feel free to mix up the spices on the outside such as adding your favorite premade spice mix.
Serving Suggestions
These crescent rolls are fantastic served with freshly cut fruits and veggies and I especially love making them as a children's options for holiday gatherings.
They are best served warmed straight out of the oven. If you have any leftover store them in the refrigerator and then reheat ideally in the air fryer, or in the oven. You can microwave them but they come out rather soggy.
