Ham and cheese roll-ups are a quick, easy, and delicious snack or appetizer. They can be made with tortillas, crescent dough, or puff pastry, depending on your preference. Here’s a simple recipe:

Ham and Cheese Roll-Ups

Ingredients:

• 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough or 4 large tortillas
• 6–8 slices of ham (deli-style or cooked ham)
• 1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella)
• 2 tbsp Dijon or honey mustard (optional)
• 1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
• 1 tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 tsp dried parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) if using crescent roll dough or puff pastry.
2. Prepare the dough: If using crescent rolls, unroll and press the seams together to form a sheet. If using tortillas, lay them flat.
3. Spread mustard (if using) evenly over the surface.
4. Layer the ham evenly over the dough or tortilla.
5. Sprinkle cheese on top of the ham.
6. Roll tightly into a log shape. For crescent dough or puff pastry, roll from the shorter side for thicker slices.
7. Slice into pinwheels (about 1-inch thick).
8. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if using dough. If using tortillas, they can be served as cold pinwheels or warmed in a pan.
9. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and parsley for extra flavor.
10. Bake for 12–15 minutes (if using dough) until golden and cheese is melted.
11. Serve warm with a dipping sauce like ranch or honey mustard.
