Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 190°C (375°F). This step is essential to ensure your crescent roll-ups bake evenly and achieve a delightful golden hue.
Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Rolls
Unroll the crescent roll dough from the can and carefully separate it into individual triangles. Each triangle will cradle the delightful fillings, so handle them gently to maintain their shape.
Step 3: Add the Fillings
For each crescent triangle, place one slice of gooey Gouda cheese and one slice of thinly sliced ham. Layering these flavors will create a savory explosion in every bite.
Step 4: Roll Them Up
Begin rolling from the wide end of the triangle, ensuring the fillings are tightly enveloped. This tight roll helps maintain the structure and ensures maximum flavor with each bite.
Step 5: Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place your rolled-up crescents on a lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each roll-up; they will puff up beautifully in the oven!
Step 6: Brush with Olive Oil
For a crispy and golden finish, brush the tops of each roll-up with olive oil. This simple step elevates the visual appeal and enhances the flavor.
Step 7: Bake
Send your crescent roll-ups into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you’ll know they’re ready when they’re beautifully puffed and golden brown.
Step 8: Prepare the Honey Mustard Drizzle
While the roll-ups are baking, mix the Dijon mustard and honey in a small bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a sweet and tangy drizzle that enhances the dish.
Step 9: Drizzle and Serve
Once the roll-ups are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the honey mustard sauce generously over them. This final touch will add a burst of flavor that ties everything together!
