- 8 slices of deli ham
- 8 slices of Swiss cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the crescent roll dough on a clean surface, pressing the seams together to form a single sheet.
- Spread Dijon mustard evenly over the dough, if using.

- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
- Slice the log into 1-inch pinwheels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds, if desired.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes

- Substitute Swiss cheese with cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for variety.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
