Instructions
- Unroll the refrigerated crescent rolls and tear along the perforations to separate into individual triangles.
- Place 4 triangles on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Lightly spread each triangle with mustard.
- Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of shredded Cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of cooked ham.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the mustard for extra flavor. If you don't have mustard, mayonnaise or a spicy aioli can work well instead. For a vegetarian option, swap the ham for sautéed mushrooms or spinach. These Ham And Cheddar Rolls are also delicious with a sprinkle of paprika for added color and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls make a fantastic appetizer or snack and pair beautifully with a fresh salad or vegetable platter. For a complete meal, serve alongside a bowl of soup, such as tomato basil or chicken noodle. You can also serve them with dips like ranch or a creamy cheese dip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls a few hours in advance. Assemble them, place them on the baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Just remember to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they go into the oven cold.
What can I substitute for Cheddar cheese?
You can use any cheese that melts well, such as Monterey Jack, Swiss, or even pepper jack for a spicy kick. For a lighter option, consider using a reduced-fat cheese or a plant-based cheese alternative if you're looking for vegetarian recipes.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown and puffed up. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the rolls are ready. Keep an eye on them as baking times can vary slightly based on your oven.
