Cheesy Ham Crescent Rolls
These Cheesy Ham Crescent Rolls are a quick, crowd-pleasing snack that combines buttery, flaky dough with melty cheese and savory ham. Each roll is brushed with a garlic-Parmesan butter glaze for extra flavor, making them perfect for breakfast, lunch boxes, party platters, or an easy appetizer. Whether baked in the oven or crisped in the air fryer, these rolls come out irresistibly golden, gooey, and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 slices deli ham
- 8 mozzarella or cheddar cheese sticks (string cheese, about 1 oz each)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
- A pinch of parsley or oregano
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven / Air Fryer
Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This ensures the rolls bake evenly and the bottoms turn perfectly golden without sticking.
Air fryer: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes. Preheating helps the rolls start cooking immediately, giving them a crisp exterior while keeping the inside soft and cheesy.
