Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent dough
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- ½ cup diced ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the over to 375°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Roll out the crescent dough form into a rectangle. Spread mustard down the center of the dough and top with the ham and cheese.
- Cut 1-inch strips along both sides of the dough. Cross each strip of dough over each other, alternating from each side.
- Place on the baking sheet and bake for 17-18 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Crescent roll dough will be easier to roll out after it has sat at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Cut ingredients into small pieces so they stay inside the braid.
- For a more shiny finish, brush egg white over dough before baking.
- Refrigerate braid in a covered container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze sliced braid for up to 3 months wrapped in plastic and stored in a zip top bag.
- Thaw slices in the refrigerator before reheating. Reheat in the oven, under the broiler, or with an air fryer.
