Baked Ham and Cheese Roll-Ups are easy to prepare and do not require complicated cooking skills. They can be made with crescent roll dough, pizza dough, puff pastry, or flour tortillas. The filling is also flexible. You can use cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, provolone, or any cheese that melts well.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 1 can crescent roll dough, pizza dough, or 6 large flour tortillas
• 12 slices deli ham
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, or mozzarella
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon dried parsley
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Add-Ins

• Cream cheese
• Pickles
• Jalapeños
• Cooked bacon bits
• Spinach
• Honey mustard
• Parmesan cheese
• Everything bagel seasoning

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 375°F / 190°C.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray. This prevents the roll-ups from sticking and makes cleanup easier.

If you are using crescent dough or puff pastry, parchment paper is especially helpful because melted cheese may leak slightly during baking.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough or Wrap

If using crescent roll dough, open the can and separate the dough into triangles or sheets. If the dough has perforated lines, gently press the seams together if you want larger roll-ups.

If using pizza dough, roll it out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.

If using tortillas, lay them flat on a clean cutting board.

Each option gives a different texture. Crescent dough gives a soft, buttery roll. Pizza dough gives a thicker bread-like texture. Tortillas create a thinner, slightly crisp roll-up.

Step 3: Add the Ham

Place ham slices evenly over the dough or tortilla.

Try not to overload the roll-ups. Too much ham can make them difficult to roll and may prevent the cheese from melting evenly.

If the ham slices are large, fold or cut them so they fit neatly inside the dough.

For stronger flavor, you can use smoked ham, honey ham, black forest ham, or leftover baked ham.
