Ham Ring Ingredients :
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated crescent dough
- 2 cups diced cooked ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Dough:
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
Arrange the dough triangles in a ring shape on a baking sheet or a round pizza pan, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points extending outward, creating a “ring” shape.
Prepare Filling:
In a bowl, mix the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, bell pepper (if using), and Dijon mustard.
Assemble the Ham Ring:
Spoon the ham mixture evenly over the wide end of each dough triangle.
Fold the pointed end of each triangle over the filling, tucking it under the wide end to secure the filling inside. The dough should encase the filling, forming a ring.
Brush and Bake:
Brush the dough with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the ham ring to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Recipe Notes:
Variations: You can add other ingredients like cooked bacon, mushrooms, or different cheeses to customize the filling.
Serving: This dish is great as a party appetizer or a casual meal and pairs well with a side salad.
