A SIMPLE AND TASTY MEAL
This Ham and Cheese Crescent Braid is easy to make and so good! I often make these as a snack or a quick lunch for us. Who doesn’t love warm ham and GOOEY cheese? The honey mustard takes the flavor over the top! This will fit the bill, especially if you need ideas on how to use leftover ham!
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How do you store leftovers?
Crescent Braids are best eaten the same day that they are made. If you want to keep leftovers, no problem. They’ll keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat these stuffed rolls, pop them back in the oven. Heat them for just a few minutes until they’re warmed up again.
Can I use a different mustard to make these?
I like honey mustard for this recipe. However, you can replace it with yellow or your favorite.
Can I use different meats and cheese to make this braid?
This is a great base recipe from which to work. Other meats, like turkey or chicken, would work, and you can trade out the cheese. Other yummy options are American, Gruyere, or Mozzarella.
