Ingredients

• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
• 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup chopped fresh broccoli
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 cups cooked ham, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine ham, broccoli, onion, parsley, mustard and cheese. Stir well.

Step 3

Unroll crescent roll dough, and arrange flat on a medium baking sheet. Pinch together perforations to form a single sheet of dough. Using a knife or scissors, cut 1 inch wide strips in towards the center, starting on the long sides. There should be a solid strip about 3 inches wide down the center, with the cut strips forming a fringe down each side. Spread the filling along the center strip. Fold the side strips over filling, alternating strips from each side. Pinch or twist to seal.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until deep golden brown.
