Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine chopped ham, chopped Swiss cheese, green onions, and prepared mustard in a bowl.
- Separate the crescent rolls into 8 triangles.
- Place 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of the ham mixture in the center of each triangle.
- Bring the tips of the triangle together in the center of the ham filling and press edges to seal.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on the flavors, consider adding some diced bell peppers or a sprinkle of garlic powder to the ham mixture. If you don't have Swiss cheese, Gruyère or cheddar can be excellent substitutes. Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent leaks while baking. For a delicious variation, you could also include a touch of honey or brown sugar in the mustard for a sweet tang.
