Think of this Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll Bake as the coziest ham and cheese sandwich upgrade: melty Swiss, deli ham, and flaky Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls shaped into spirals and finished with a simple homemade honey-mustard sauce. It makes an easy win for dinner, works great for brunch or lunch, and is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for potlucks and holidays. Everything bakes together in one dish, which means less time cooking and more time eating. Serve warm and watch those spirals disappear fast!

Recipe Ingredients

Just 5 staple ingredients come together to make a savory bake that feels special enough for company but easy enough for any night of the week.

Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls: These create tender, flaky layers that wrap around the filling and hold everything together.

Swiss Cheese: This makes everything creamy and delicious! As it melts, it helps hold the rest of the ingredients together and adds a mild, nutty flavor that complements the ham and mustard.

Deli Ham: This adds salty, savory flavor and hearty texture without extra prep. If you don’t have deli ham on hand, any sliced deli meat would work for this recipe.

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: All that’s left is honey and Dijon mustard! Combined, they create an easy, tangy, homemade honey-mustard sauce to spoon over the baked rolls. In the mood for something spicier? Swap regular honey for hot honey to add a little extra heat.

How to Make Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll Bake

A few easy steps turn basic ingredients into a warm, melty Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll Bake—here’s a quick overview! Keep reading for the full recipe.

1. Prep the Dough
Start by prepping a 13x9-inch dish with cooking spray and unrolling the first sheet of crescent dough. Press the perforations closed so you have one smooth layer.

2. Add the Fillings (and Repeat)

Layer on Swiss cheese and ham slices—just like building a sandwich!—then roll the whole sheet up tightly. Repeat the same process with the second sheet of dough, so you have two filled rolls in total.

3. Slice Into Spirals
Cut each roll into slices with a serrated knife, using a gentle sawing motion (versus pressing and dragging), to avoid squashing them. Nestle them flat in the baking dish, spiral side up, reshaping as needed. Don’t worry if your spirals aren’t perfectly tight and round—as the dough expands, the spaces will fill in together perfectly!

4. Bake and Drizzle
Bake in a 375°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the spirals are golden brown, fully set, and the cheese is melty. Finish with a drizzle of honey mustard for that classic ham + Swiss combo, then serve while still warm.

How to Store (and Reheat) Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll Bake

These rolls reheat beautifully and make an excellent next-day breakfast or lunch! Here’s what to do.

Refrigerator Storage

You can store leftover Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll Bake in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Be sure to store leftovers within 2 hours of finishing preparation.

Freezer Storage

We don’t recommend freezing the leftovers as the dough may become dense and soggy when thawed.

Reheating

Microwave individual portions on high in 1 to 2 minute intervals or until heated through to 165°F. If you want to heat in the baking dish, cover it with foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through to 165°F.
