These Mini Ham and Cheese Rolls are the kind of thing I always forget how much I love—until I make them again. They’re buttery, melty, and just salty enough to feel a little indulgent.
With a flaky crescent dough shortcut and a quick Dijon glaze on top, they look like you put in way more effort than you actually did.
Jump to RecipeI like using Swiss cheese for a slightly sharp bite, but cheddar totally works too. And the glaze? Just a touch of Dijon mixed with melted butter and parsley—it gives each roll a little extra something without overpowering the filling.
They’re great for parties, potlucks, or honestly just a cozy lunch with soup.
These are best right out of the oven, but you can absolutely prep them ahead. Assemble and refrigerate them unbaked, then pop them in the oven when you’re ready.
Easy, satisfying, and guaranteed to disappear fast.

Make-Ahead Tips
Assemble, Then Refrigerate
You can fully assemble the rolls (with the ham and cheese) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Brush with the Dijon glaze right before baking so they don’t get soggy.
Freeze Before Baking
To freeze, assemble the rolls without the glaze, then freeze on a tray until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to bake, place them on a sheet, brush with glaze, and bake straight from frozen—just add 3–5 extra minutes to the baking time.
Reheat If Baked Ahead
If you’ve already baked them, store in the fridge in an airtight container. Reheat at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until warmed through. Cover loosely with foil if you don’t want the tops to brown more.
