Equipment

8x8 Square Pans

Ingredients

1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescents dough
8 cheese slices like Kraft singles
8 ounces thin sliced ham
¼ cup Dijon mustard
⅓ cup basil pesto

Instructions

Prep. Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Roll out the dough. Roll out the refrigerated crescent dough and pinch together all the seams.
Assemble. Arrange the cheese slices in a single layer over the dough. Arrange the ham slices over the cheese. Spread Dijon mustard over the ham slices.
Roll and cut the pinwheels. Starting with the side nearest you, carefully roll up the dough, tightly. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 9 slices.
Add pesto. Transfer the roll ups to the previously prepared baking dish. Spread basil pesto over the rollups.
Bake. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown. Remove from oven and let them stand for about 3 to 4 minutes, then serve.

Notes

Meats: Swap ham with other deli meats like turkey or roast beef.
Vegetarian: Replace ham with thinly sliced veggies like bell peppers or zucchini.
Add-ins: Consider sun-dried tomatoes, olives, pickles, or jalapenos for extra flavor.
Sauces: Try different sauces or spreads such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or a garlic herb spread.
Extra Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top before baking.
Make ahead of time by covering the prepared rollups with plastic wrap and refrigerating them. DO NOT bake.
When ready to bake, remove from fridge and bake uncovered.
