COOKBOOK / 31143
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking sheet with cooking spray. Roll out one package of crescent roll dough onto the baking sheet, pinching the seams together and stretching it to cover the whole pan. Layer on slices of Cheddar cheese, then add the ham, and top with the remaining cheese slices.
Next, roll out the second package of crescent dough on a flat surface and pinch the seams together. Carefully place this dough over the cheese and ham layer, pressing the edges down with a fork to seal everything in. Make a few shallow cuts on top of the dough so steam can escape while it bakes.
In a small bowl, whisk together an egg and a splash of water, then brush this mixture all over the top crust. Sprinkle some sesame seeds, along with a little salt and pepper, over the egg wash. Pop it in the oven and bake until the crust turns golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- Use sharp cheddar or your favorite melting cheese for the best flavor.
- Make sure to preheat the oven fully to get a crisp, golden crust.
- Let the pie rest for a few minutes before slicing to help it hold together.
This dish combines savory ham and gooey cheese in a flaky crust, creating a comforting meal that’s easy to make. It’s perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings because it comes together quickly and satisfies a crowd.
Serve warm with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. It also pairs well with a dollop of mustard or a light side of pickles to add a bit of tang.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the crust crisp and the cheese melted. This pie can also be frozen before baking for up to one month.
