Easy, quick-to-make savory snack of deli ham and cheddar cheese wrapped in crescent dough, brushed with a flavorful butter glaze and baked until golden and flaky.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tubes crescent dough sheets
  • 1 pound deli-sliced ham
  • 8 cheddar cheese sticks
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried minced onion or onion powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll crescent dough sheets and cut each sheet into 4 equal rectangles, yielding 8 pieces in total.
  3. Lay one slice of deli ham on each dough rectangle.
  4. Place one cheddar cheese stick on top of the ham on each piece.
  5. Fold the dough ends over the filling and roll each piece tightly to seal.
  6. Arrange the prepared sticks on the baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried minced onion (or onion powder), and poppy seeds.
  8. Brush the butter mixture evenly over each stick.
  9. Bake the sticks for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
  10. Let the sticks rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the dough cleanly for easier prep., Cheddar cheese can be swapped with mozzarella for a milder flavor or pepper jack for some heat., Add breadcrumbs to the butter mixture for extra crunch if desired., Serve the sticks warm for optimal cheesy gooeyness., They freeze well: baked sticks keep up to 2 months frozen; unbaked assembled sticks freeze up to 1 month., Reheat refrigerated leftovers in an oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or until warmed through., Reheat frozen sticks in oven at 350°F for 17-23 minutes or air fry at 325°F for 4-6 minutes., Avoid leaving sticks at room temperature for more than 2 hours; discard leftovers after 3 days for food safety., Serve with dipping sauces like spicy mustard, ranch, or sweet chili sauce; pair with a crisp green salad and cold beverages like lemonade or sparkling water.
