How do you make Cake Pan Ham Cheese Sandwiches
- Spray a 9×13 cake pan with cooking spray.
- Open one of the cans of crescent rolls and place them on the bottom of the pan. Press the seams of the dough together to form one piece of dough. (It will be slightly smaller than the pan:)
- First, bake the crescent roll sheet until golden brown.
- Spread the mustard evenly over the baked crescent roll sheet.
- Fold each slice of deli ham in half and place over the Dijon mustard, layering the folded slices in rows.
- Place the cheese slices over the ham in an even layer.
- Open the remaining tube of crescent roll dough and place over the top of the cheese layer. Pinch the seams of the dough together to seal closed.
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, fresh basil, and garlic. Brush the mixture over the dough.
Secondly, bake again until golden brown on top.
Cool and cut into square sandwiches
Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
Tips and substitutions:
- Mix up the cheese with your favorite flavors.
- Add grilled onions or bacon.
- If taking to a party, prepare and pop in the oven right before serving.
- You want to serve these hot out of the oven.
- Delicious for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner!
How do you serve mini Ham Cheese Sandwiches
It’s easy! Set it out, they will come (which means, just serve it as it comes out of the oven).
Or you can make it a little fancier.
Add a large slice of fresh tomato on top of the serving, with a sprinkle of fresh basil.
Perfect for fall and end-of-summer homemade tomato soup!
ENJOY!
