Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove the crescent roll dough from the container carefully without separating it, keeping it in a rectangular shape.
- Spread mustard over the dough.
- Layer thin slices of ham over the mustard.
- Top the ham with thin slices of Swiss cheese.
- Roll up the dough (jelly roll fashion) from the longest side of the rectangle.
- Slice the rolled-up dough crossways into about 3/4 inch slices.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider spreading a thin layer of cream cheese or herbed cheese on the crescent roll dough before layering the ham and Swiss cheese. You can substitute turkey or cheddar cheese if you prefer. Make sure to not overfill the roll-ups to ensure they bake evenly. For a twist, try adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder to the mustard.
Serving Suggestions
These roll-ups make a great snack or appetizer at parties. Serve them with a side of mustard or your favorite dipping sauce, such as Juanita'S Cheese Dip, for a delicious pairing. They can also be enjoyed alongside a fresh Snap Salad for a lighter meal. For a heartier option, serve with some roasted vegetables.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the roll-ups and store them in the refrigerator before baking. Just cover them with plastic wrap to prevent drying out. When you're ready to bake, remove the wrap and bake as directed. They can also be frozen before baking; just thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
What can I use instead of Swiss cheese?
If you don't have Swiss cheese on hand, you can substitute with provolone, gouda, or even a sharp cheddar for a different flavor profile. Each cheese will impart its unique taste, giving you plenty of options to customize your roll-ups.
Can I add vegetables to the roll-ups?
Absolutely! You can add thinly sliced bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the layers for added nutrition and flavor. Just make sure to keep the fillings thin to ensure the roll-ups bake evenly.
