Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll Squares

Like a Mini Monte Cristo

These Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll Squares are a Mr. Tipsy favorite. He asks for this almost every Football Sunday.

Football Sunday in our house means him on the couch eating and me in the kitchen cooking and having some pantry drinks.

Truth be told, it’s one of my favorite days of the week.

Below is a full, printable recipe but first I am going to share a couple tips and tricks in the next sections.

Let This Rest

The recipe is pretty straightforward, the only trick is to make sure to let the delicacy rest before you cut into it. This allows the meat and cheese to settle and come together.

If you cut it too soon, all the cheese and meat will slide out of it. I let this rest on top of the warm stove as the oven cools and then I slice it with a pizza cutter.

Fork This

Make sure to use a fork to stab some holes in the top layer of the crescent roll sheet before you bake it. This prevents the pastry from getting too puffy and lets the whole inside come together.

Feeling Saucy?

Honestly these squares are delicious all on their own but I can’t blame you if you’re tempted to try some decadent dips.

Whether it’s marinara, hot sauce, ranch, BBQ sauce or anything else, I can’t deny the appeal of a dip. If you’re serving it at a party you can even give your guests some options.
