Hot Ham and Cheese Pinwheels

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why have a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch when these are just as easy to make.  They are insanely delicious and perfect for an appetizer or whenever you choose! Hot cheesy goodness with layers of black forest ham rolled up in buttery dough.  And that glaze…OMG it’s out of this world good!   

Hot Ham and Cheese Pinwheels

 

2 tubes crescent dough sheets

20- 22 slices Black Forest Ham thinly sliced 

Slices Swiss cheese thinly sliced 

Slices of white American cheese thinly sliced

1 tablespoon chopped parsley for garnish

 

Glaze

 

1/2 cup butter melted

2 tablespoons brown sugar 

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Open the tubes of crescent dough and stack one on top of the other. Press the sides, top and bottom together to make one rectangle.  Press out the dough until it’s about 9 x 13. 

Lay 6 slices of Swiss cheese on the dough, leaving a 1/4 inch margin at the edges. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Top with the ham (fold the slices over if needed) so that you get plenty of ham in your roll ups.  I like to add pepper to my ham but it’s optional.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lay the American cheese on top of the ham. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start rolling up the dough with the contents inside, starting with the longest side. Roll as tightly as possible. Pinch the ends closed. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Roll it as tight as you can, making sure you don't lose any filling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slice dough into at least 12 pieces.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Carefully put the pinwheels in the dish, evenly spaced, being sure to pinch any seams that may have separated. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Combine the butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and poppy seeds in a sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk until the butter is melted and the glaze is smooth and combined. Generously brush over each pinwheel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove from oven after cooking time and let cool slightly before serving. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       

       

 

 

 NOTES

·         Use around 20-22 slices of Black Forest Ham. Be sure to get the thin sliced ham!

·         Most recipes for these call for one can of crescent dough sheet. Trust me, use two.

·         Swiss Cheese – Use thinly sliced Swiss cheese to pair with your ham. Top that with white cheddar.

·         Dijon Mustard – Add a touch of zesty flavor with a bit of this delicious mustard.

Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches

 Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches

So sometimes I think I’m pretty clever.  Not often but sometimes.  Like when I decided there had to be a better way to make eggs other than frying them or poaching them. My mission was to make some breakfast sandwiches ahead of time so when I wanted one, I could just take one out of the freezer and microwave it. Frying all those eggs would take too much time and would be too messy. So I thought baking them might work if I found something that would allow them to hold their shape.  And so I set out to find the right shaped pan and voila! I found a Whoopie Pie pan that worked beautifully!  Here’s what I did…..

Buy a whoopie pie pan...either a 6 or 12 tin pan.

Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches

1 whoopie pie pan (6 or 12 tin)

6 eggs (or 12 depending on size of pan.

Non-stick cooking spray

English muffins or soft bagels

Ham or sausage patties

Cheddar cheese

Butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Crack your eggs into a small bowl one at at time. Generously spray the bottoms of your whoopie pan wells. Crack your eggs one at a time into each section.  

You can leave the yolks in tact or break them with a fork for less runny eggs.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Bake eggs on the center rack of the oven until whites are set and not jiggly.  Remove from oven and set aside.

Sandwiches

Butter your English muffin or bagel.  Lay slice of cheese on bottom and top with a slice or two of ham or sausage. Place in oven for a minute or two until cheese is melted.  

Remove egg from pan, lifting each one with a spoon or a fork.  The egg whites turn out just like you fried them....not too thick or rubbery.  Instead you get a slightly crisp bottom and tender whites. Your eggs will lift out nicely.  

Place an egg on top of each sandwich and cover with top.  Enjoy now or freeze for later!

If you are making these ahead of time to freeze, allow to cool and then wrap each one in a ZipLoc freezer bag and store individually.  When ready to eat, wrap sandwich in a moist paper towel and microwave on high for about a minute.  Enjoy.
