Ham and Swiss Honey Mustard Crescents

by Victoria Shearer 

School is back in session and kids are already tired of the “same old, same old“ lunchbox offerings. “Sandwiches are so boring,” my grandson Nicholas told me recently. His usually make the return trip home, much to his mother’s dismay. These easy-to-make, easy-to-eat crescents will put a little zing back into the midday repast, whether hot out of the oven at home, tucked into your child’s lunchbox, or eaten on-the-run while you’re at work or doing errands. 

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons honey

1 package Pillsbury Grands! Crescent rolls

8 slices thinly sliced honey ham

8 slices thinly sliced Alpine Swiss cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix mustard and honey together in a small bowl. Unroll crescent rolls and cut apart. Spread honey-mustard generously atop each crescent roll triangle. Working with 1 triangle at a time, place 1 piece ham and 1 piece cheese atop crescent roll dough, folding in ham and cheese so that they don’t 

hang over dough. Roll up triangle from wide side, pressing dough together on each side to seal ham and cheese inside. Place each crescent, seam side down on a nonstick or parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes on middle rack, until crescents are golden. Serve with remaining honey-mustard mixture on the side. (Refrigerate extra crescents in a zipper bag.)
