Ham Broccoli Braid




Easy, fun and good!

1 1/2 cups cooked ham, cubed
1 cup fresh broccoli florets, cut into bite size pieces
1 T dried parsley
2 T Dijon mustard
2 cups shredded swiss cheese
1 8 oz can refrigerated crescent roll dough

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl, combine ham, brocoli, parsley, mustard and cheese. Stir well.

Unroll crescent dough and arrange flat on baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Pinch together perforations to form a single sheet of dough. Using knife cut 1 inch wide strips in towards center, starting on long sides. There should be a solid strip about 3 inches wide down the center, with the cut strips forming a fringe down each side. Spread filling along the center strip. Fold the side strips over filling, alternating strips from each side and pressing them into the dough on the opposite side, forming a braid. Pinch or twist to seal.

Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until deep golden brown. Cut into slices and serve immediately.

  1. Oh, that looks heavenly...doesn't sound too hard either, my kind of cooking. Was it as good as it looks? By the way, I figured out my question on other blog in case you didn't notice.
