These crispy ham and cheese pinwheel sandwiches are quick, easy, and perfect for parties or snacks. They feature a flaky crescent roll dough exterior with savory ham and melted cheddar cheese inside.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (about 8 oz)
  • 6–8 slices thinly sliced deli ham
  • 4–6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface and press perforations together to form one solid rectangle.
  3. Spread Dijon mustard evenly over the dough, leaving a half-inch border around the edges (optional).
  4. Layer the ham slices evenly over the mustard-covered dough.
  5. Add the cheese slices over the ham, covering most of the surface but leaving a small margin around the edges.
  6. Roll the dough tightly from the long side and pinch the seam to seal the edge.
  7. Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, yielding about 8-10 pinwheels.
  8. Place the pinwheels cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  9. Brush the tops with melted butter.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overstuff the roll to avoid difficulty slicing and oozing during baking. Seal dough edges firmly to prevent unwrapping. Use room temperature dough for easier rolling. Brush generously with butter for a golden crust. Start checking pinwheels at 12 minutes to prevent burning. Optional Dijon mustard adds a subtle tang. Variations include vegetarian fillings or different cheeses. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crescent dough alternatives.
