Pin This RecipeThese Hot Ham and Cheese Crescents are a new favorite. I am totally addicted to these sandwich bites! They are a combination of my Party Ham Sandwiches and Sausage and Cream Cheese Crescents. They are SOOOOO good! I could not stop eating these things!
These crescents are great for a party or even a simple lunch and dinner. I like to take these to our tailgate parties. This recipe makes 48 crescent bites and I never have any leftovers. These things fly off the plate! I am already planning on making another batch this weekend. SO good!
You can make the filling for these crescent roll bites ahead of time and refrigerate until you are ready to bake the crescents. I like to cut the crescent rolls into two triangles to make bite-sized crescents. If you are making the crescents for lunch or dinner, you may want to keep the crescents whole. I think the crescents taste best hot or at room temperature.

Can these be made without cream cheese? DH doesn’t like cream cheese.
you need something to bind the mixture together
Can you prepare these the night before and pop them in the oven the next morning?
I have not tried that, but I think it would be just fine.
These are delicious! I put everything bagel seasoning on top! Yummy!
sounds delicious!
Would this be possible with deli ham? Or what type of ham is best? Sounds delicious!!
You can try it. I use a package of diced ham from the grocery store
These are so good!! Thank you for all the great recipes..😊
SO glad you enjoyed it!
These sound amazing! Could I use Pillsbury biscuits and just separate the layers? I have everything but Cresent rolls..
I’ve been making these every couple days since quarantine started. The kids love them!
I make enough for one can of crescent rolls, sub in a few tablespoons of ricotta for the cream cheese, because that’s what I have.
I’ve started adding onions and parsley just to switch it up a bit. I like how good this is, and how you can make changes to suit your own taste and pantry.
So freaking good!!! Just made them!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Cornish: Pillsbury brand Cresent rolls in the refrigerated section
I just need to make 15
Need to downsize and just make 15
Made these today, and I did skip the poppy seeds on top because I didn't have any and didn't feel like a store run. These are very good. I did not have swiss, so I used cheddar and monterrey jack cheese. It was very good. I also used deli ham and diced it and it was very good as well. I served this for a group at home, watching Sunday night football, and it was a hit.
Made these yummy bundles for one of my appy nights…I cut the recipe down to a 1/3…made 16 tasty crescent…made for "Think Pink" tag game in honor of those who have fought, lost or are fighting cancer…
Could you use chicken or another meat?
Do these reheat well, if they are made ahead of time? Or are they best served fresh?
I prefer them the day they are baked. I've refrigeratored the leftovers and they are good but not as good as the day I made them. If you do reheat them, wrap them in foil and reheat them in the oven. Much better than the microwave oven.
Do these reheat well, or are they best served fresh out of the oven?
what would a good alternative cheese be? No a swiss fan.
Just use your favorite cheese
Can you help, being English I'm not sure what crescent rolls are, any ideas as to their name in our stores ??
Thanks a lot, they sound real scrumptious
Being English I'm not sure what crescent rolls are ??? Any advice as to what I need to look for in our stores.

Jus~Rol Croissants refrigerated tinned pastry should work.
I would totally over indulge on these too! Yay for tailgating food which is like the best food ever!
They look delicious and would be perfect for football watching.
