Prior to my marriage, which also means WAY before I had kids, every Sunday I would stop by the local bakery on my way to church and buy a Ham and Cheese Croissant. It was a tradition that I really enjoyed and can look back on longingly. Hot ham and cheese just give off a sense of comfort to me.
That being said, another comfort to me is baking. I love parties because then I can bake and not have to keep the food in the house. Whenever my turn comes around to savories though, I am usually at a loss. My appetizers run a be exotic (and expensive) so this year I was determined to find a savory finger food that everyone would enjoy and would match my current budget.
This idea came in a round about way from a friends post on Pinterest. I saw a recipe for pizza roll-ups (which I will do as well some day) and thought that Ham and Cheese sounded better.
So off to the store I went to buy what ever was on sale! Yeah, I am that cheap sometimes.
I cut the Ham in to quarter strips...
...unrolled the dough and sprinkled on some cheese. I used the Triple Cheddar because, let's face it, Ham and Cheddar just go together.
I arranged the ham on the top to gain full coverage. I started to use several strips of ham per roll, but in the end I realized that three strips in really all that is needed.
Roll the dough starting at the wide end.
It doesn't matter if some of the filling in hanging out. That actually makes it look yummier. Tuck the ends in a little to slightly curve the roll.
Arrange on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Serve these little babies hot or cold. Both ways they are yummy!
Great idea
