You know those days when you just can’t bear to eat another pb & j for lunch? Or dinnertime comes out of nowhere and you realize you have nothing to eat?! This is the perfect throw-together recipe for those times. Only 3 ingredients, and your main dish is served!

Ingredients needed for Ham and Cheese Crescents:

Deli ham (you can also use leftover ham from a ham dinner)
Cheddar Cheese slices (or your favorite cheese)

How to make Ham and Cheese Crescents:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Separate dough into 8 equal pieces (they usually separate into triangles)

Place 2 slices of ham and take 1 slice of cheese (folded in half) on the larger end of the triangle.

Roll the crescent up with the ham and cheese inside, and place it tip side down on a baking sheet (I used a baking mat, but you could line it with foil for easy clean up too).

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and serve warm.

I love your recipes. What I don't love is never getting to pin them because the photos don't load or Pinterest can't fetch them. Can you fix this? It has happened on several of your recipes now but other sites I have no problems.
Mitch says:

Cyd says:

Hi Christy, we have been switching over to a new server the past few weeks and still have a few bugs, one being the Pin It button. Hopefully it will be running smooth soon! Thanks for your patience!! :)
