Time 1h15m

Yield 12 spirals

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Flour, for work surface
1 pound refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar
1/2 pound deli sliced ham
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, and Italian seasoning.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch square. Brush the entire surface with the seasoned olive oil. Top with 1 cup of shredded cheese and an even layer of ham. (Reserve the extra cheese and ham for Round 2 Ham and Cheese Croquettes.)
Starting from the bottom edge, tightly roll up the dough to form a log. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the roll on the bias into 1-inch thick pieces. Arrange the rolls on their side on a nonstick or lightly oiled baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to proof.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with 2 tablespoons of water. Brush the tops and sides of the rolls with the egg wash. Bake until golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) tubes refrigerated reduced-fat crescent rolls
8 ounces light cream cheese, softened to room temp
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3-1/2 cup finely chopped scallion
1/2 cup finely diced ham
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

On a nonstick surface or wax paper, unroll each tube of crescent dough. Seperate each 8-oz tube into 2 large rectangles (you'll have 4 total).
Seal the perforations very well and spread out dough just a bit.
In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese sour cream and mustard. Stir in the scallions, ham, cheese and garlic powder; mix well.
Spread each rectangle with one-fourth of the cream cheese mixture. Spread it thin and leave 1/2" on the sides.
Roll up the rectangles jelly-roll style.
Wrap each roll in wax paper and place in the freezer for 20-25 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Unwrap rolls and cut into about 1/2" slices.
Place slices on a nonstick or lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for about 12 minutes or until lightly golden.
After baking, allow to cool for 3 minutes before removing from cookie sheet.
Serve warm or cold.

Tips:

For a quick and easy meal, use pre-made puff pastry dough.
If you want a more flavorful spiral, use a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
Add your favorite herbs and spices to the filling for an extra burst of flavor.
To prevent the spirals from unrolling, make sure to tuck the edges of the pastry dough in tightly.
Bake the spirals until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
