Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 4 slices deli black forest ham
  • 4 slices deli turkey breast
  • 4 slices swiss cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Raspberry or strawberry jam for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Unroll crescent dough on your workspace. Separate into 4 rectangles (2 triangles press together) and pinch the seams together to form a rectangle.
  • Spread a thin layer of Dijon over each dough piece.
  • Layer one slice each of ham, turkey, then Swiss in even layers.
  • Starting from the long side, roll tightly into a log. Use a knife to cut each roll into 5 slices. Arrange cut-side up on the prepared sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to form an egg wash. Brush the tops lightly with egg wash.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until puffed, golden, and the cheese is melted. Immediately remove from the pan and place on a serving dish. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve with jam!

Notes

  • Air fryer method: Cook at 350°F for 7 to 9 minutes, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Make-ahead: assemble the log in the morning, wrap, chill up to 24 hours, then slice and bake.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat at 325°F for 6 to 8 minutes or in the air fryer at 320°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
