Ham and Cheese Crescent Pockets

ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 egg
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 6 slices deli ham
• 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)

directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Unroll crescent dough onto a greased cookie sheet and press the perforations together to seal them. Roll lightly with a rolling pin to make even. (Do not push hard or you will roll the dough out too thin.)

Whisk egg and stir in garlic powder. Lightly brush surface of dough with egg wash. Lay ham slices over dough, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the ham.

Starting with the long edge closest to you, roll up tightly, like you would do with cinnamon rolls.

Spray a knife with nonstick spray and cut into 6 equal portions. Place on baking sheet, seam side down. Then brush tops with egg wash. Sprinkle poppy seeds onto each pocket, then bake for 17-19 minutes, until golden brown.
