Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the cheese slices in half and place one half on each dough triangle near the wide end. Add a slice of ham, folding the edges if necessary to keep it within the boundaries of the dough. Top with another half slice of cheese.

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until smooth and fully incorporated. Brush over the crescent rolls.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed up and golden brown. Watch them in the last few minutes to avoid over-browning.
