Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ ounces deli ham thinly sliced, chopped
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • ½ cup Swiss cheese shredded
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 ounces crescent rolls refrigerated

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Stir together the ham, chopped onion, shredded cheese, egg, mustard, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl until fully mixed.
  • Roll out the crescent dough and slice into 24 equal pieces. Press each square into a greased mini muffin tin to form small cups.
  • Spoon about a tablespoon of the ham mixture into each cup.
  • Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the tops are puffed and golden.
  • Let them cool slightly, then carefully lift out of the muffin pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Use a pizza cutter for clean, even dough cuts.
  • The filling can be made ahead and kept in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble.
  • Try other cheeses like gruyere or cheddar if you want to change it up.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of cheese before baking for extra flavor and color.
