Ham and Cheese Squares: Easy Crescent Dough Bake Ham and Cheese Squares layer crescent dough sheets with Dijon mustard, Swiss cheese, and thin sliced ham in a simple baked format. A butter mixture with dried parsley and garlic powder is brushed over the top before the bake goes into the oven.

Watch How to Make It

Once the top is golden brown, the finished bake is sliced into squares. The assembly happens directly on a parchment lined baking sheet, keeping the layers together from start to finish.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

This recipe uses two rolls of crescent dough sheets: one for the base and one for the top. Between them, 4 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 12 slices of Swiss cheese, and 1/2 pound of thin sliced ham create the layered center.

The finishing step is built into the preparation. Melted butter is mixed with dried parsley and garlic powder, then brushed over the top crescent sheet before baking.

Ingredients You'll Need

You will need 2 rolls of crescent dough sheets, 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 12 slices Swiss cheese, and 1/2 pound thin sliced ham. The mustard is spread over the first dough sheet, followed by the cheese and ham layers.

For the top, use 1/2 stick butter, 2 teaspoons dried parsley, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. The butter is melted and combined with the seasonings before it is brushed across the upper dough sheet.

The recipe is assembled and baked on a parchment lined baking sheet. Have the baking sheet lined before placing the first crescent dough sheet down so the layering can begin right away.

How To Make It

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment, then lay one crescent dough sheet on the prepared pan.

Spread the Dijon mustard over the dough in an even layer. Use all 4 tablespoons to cover the first sheet before adding the remaining layers.

Place the Swiss cheese over the Dijon mustard. Layer the thin sliced ham over the Swiss cheese, keeping the order of Swiss followed by ham.

Lay the second crescent dough sheet over the ham to close the bake. This top sheet completes the layered crescent dough structure before the butter mixture is added.

Melt the butter, then add the dried parsley and garlic powder. Mix the butter and seasonings well so the parsley and garlic powder are combined throughout the melted butter.

Brush the butter mixture over the top crescent dough sheet. Make sure this topping is applied before the baking sheet goes into the oven.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown. Once the bake reaches that golden brown finish, remove it from the oven, slice it into squares, and enjoy.

The preparation is organized around the order of the layers. Begin with the bottom crescent dough sheet, then spread on the Dijon in an even layer before adding the Swiss cheese and ham.

The second dough sheet goes on after the ham. The butter, parsley, and garlic powder mixture is prepared separately, then brushed over the completed top layer.

The bake cooks at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. Golden brown is the stated sign that the crescent dough bake is ready to come out of the oven.

The butter mixture is added before baking, so it is already in place as the squares cook. Slice the bake after it is removed from the oven.

Serving & Variations

Serve the ham and cheese bake by slicing it into squares after baking. The recipe’s final direction is to slice and enjoy, with the crescent dough enclosing the Dijon, Swiss, and ham layers.

The supplied preparation keeps the filling sequence consistent: Dijon first, Swiss cheese next, and ham on top. The parsley and garlic powder remain part of the melted butter topping rather than being added to the filling.

Wrapping Up

These Ham and Cheese Squares come together through a clear layering process on one parchment lined baking sheet. The final butter topping, 350-degree bake, and golden brown finish lead directly to a slice-and-serve result.
