Looking for something yummy, easy and a little special for breakfast? On the weekend it’s a little less chaotic in the morning – so I enjoy making something extra yummy for the family. That being said – I’m also exhausted after a long week of juggling schedules and checking things off of my to-do list!

This recipe has a kitchen hack that you can use in many other ways. It’s special (hot out of the oven) and isn’t full of sugar (like many baked breakfast treats). You can also customize these in any way you want! I’ll tell you how in a few – but first – let’s get our Ham & Cheese on! 🙂

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 – Container crescent rolls
• 4 – Slices of ham (cut in half)
• Grated cheese of your choice (I used parmesan)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat oven to temperature specified on package of crescent rolls. The kind I use specifies a temp of 375F.
• Line baking sheet with foil. Do not spray – leave it dry.
• Open (pop) the container of crescent rolls and unroll the dough.
• Separate the triangles and place them on the baking sheet. Fill each with a half slice of ham and about 1 tbsp grated cheese. Do not overstuff!
• Roll up each crescent roll and make sure they are spaced out on the baking sheet (not touching each other).
• Put in oven for the baking time specified on the crescent roll package. I baked my ham and cheese rolls for about 11 min.
• Take out of the oven when golden brown – and serve 🙂
• Enjoy!

The kids loved these little breakfast treats – and so did my hubby! You can see Gabe lounging and munching away. I got a big smile full of ham and cheese – but I’ll take it! Big win for mommy!

The nice thing about this recipe is that you can customize them any way you like. I don’t eat meat, so I didn’t put ham in a couple of them. I kept them cheese only. They were perfect with a little jam on the side.

There are many delicious things you can fill and roll up in these! Some examples include:

• PB&J (perfect for lunch boxes)
• Fig preserves and cheese
• Cheese and breakfast sausage links (precook meat) – almost like pigs in a blanket
• Banana slice with hazelnut spread
• A couple of chocolate chips (like a mini chocolate croissant)
• A little diced apple with shredded cheddar
• Cream cheese with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar
• Veggie cream cheese for a savory treat
• Bacon and cheese – great as a side next to scrambled eggs
• Shredded mozzarella and a dollop of pizza sauce

So many possibilities exist! Use what you have on hand and make something yummy, easy and special as breakfast, snack, lunch box treat, etc!

The brand of crescent rolls I like to use are organic, have no bleached flour, no hydrogenated oils, and no artificial preservatives – so I feel like this kitchen hack is still on the healthier side. There are so many options out there – pick what you prefer.

Have fun with this recipe and I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!
