Ingredients

You need just 5 basic ingredients to put together these ham and cheese baked roll ups:

  • Jones Dairy Farm Center Cut Canadian Bacon – This is the only Canadian bacon I will use! It’s high-quality, tastes amazing, and has 10 grams of protein per serving.
  • Crescent rolls – You’ll want about 8 rolls all together, but many of the packages come in different sizes. NOTE: Don’t separate the rolls as we’re going to keep them in rectangles to roll up like cinnamon rolls. 
  • Cheese – I’ve used a shredded sharp cheddar cheese, but you can really use any cheese that melts well. Havarti, Monterey jack or swiss would all also be delicious. 
  • Mustard – I think dijon mustard adds a delicious elevated flavor, but you could use yellow mustard, honey mustard, or even omit it completely.
