Ingredients
- 2 8oz packages Pillsbury Sweet Hawaiian Crescent Rolls
- 1 1/2 lb sliced deli ham
- 1 lb sliced Swiss cheese
- 1 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp poppy seeds
- 1 tbsp dried minced onion
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup honey or hot honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- optional garnish: leafy green lettuce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- Grease or line a large round pizza pan or stone with parchment paper. Arrange crescent rolls in a circle, short side in the middle/pointed ends out, slightly overlapping. With a small rolling pin or with your fingertips, flatten the center of dough to about a 5-inch wide base for the filling.
- Evenly distribute ham on top of the flattened base followed by Swiss cheese slices.
- Bring the outside points of the dough over the filling to the center of the ring and tuck under.
- In a small bowl, whisk together butter and Worcestershire sauce. Brush on top of the dough. Sprinkle the dough evenly with poppy seeds and dried minced onion.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until dough is golden brown. Allow the ring to rest 10 minutes prior to serving.
- For the dipping sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey and dijon mustard. Serve in a small bowl in the center of the baked ring, garnished with lettuce around it if desired.

Notes
- If your deli ham has moisture on the outside, dry with a paper towel first. Added moisture can make the crescent roll dough soggy.
- If you don't have a pizza pan or round stone, you can make the ring in an oval shape on a large sheet pan.
- If you don’t like Swiss cheese, substitute with nearly any sliced cheese variety. Cheddar, mozzarella, American, or Monterey Jack cheeses all work great.
- This recipe can be halved if desired. Simply create a smaller sun shape with 1 can of dough and halve the remaining ingredients.
- If served as a main entree, this ring is perfect paired with a side salad, raw vegetables and dip, steamed/sautéed/roasted vegetables or soup.
