Pimiento cheese gives these hot ham and cheese sandwiches a big flavour punch. The best part? They’re baked in a 13x9 for an easy crowd-sized dish that everyone can get behind.

Ingredients

½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
½ cup diced pimiento peppers, drained
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 tablespoon finely chopped jarred pickled jalapeño peppers
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne), if desired

2 cans (8 count each) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescents
8 slices deli sliced ham

Steps

1

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In medium bowl, beat Pimiento Cheese ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed 1 to 2 minutes or until creamy; refrigerate 15 minutes.

2. Unroll 1 can crescents on work surface; reshape into 12x8-inch rectangle. Carefully spread half of the pimiento cheese mixture onto crescents, dough sheet, to within 1 inch of one of the short ends, leaving room to seal the seams. Place 4 ham slices evenly on top of cheese layer. Starting on short, topped edge of rectangle, roll up tightly, and pinch seam together. Repeat for remaining can of crescents.

4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and dough is baked through. Garnish with additional sliced green onion, if desired. Serve warm.

For less heat, leave out the ground red pepper or cut back on the pickled jalapeños.
Pimiento cheese is also great in a grilled cheese sandwich or as a cracker spread.
