Party Panache, Ham and Double Cheese Spirals
We had a fun Father’s Day dinner
honoring my son and my son-in-law last weekend
We wanted to make it extra easy on the guys who usually do the cooking
HHjr did make an incredible guacamole
from a giant avocado CCOG brought us
DD brought pizzas and cheesecake and I made
Cucumber Blueberry Crunch Salad and appetizer spirals
Spirals are one of my favorite appetizers
Not only are they a crowd pleaser,
they can be made with things you probably have on hand
I usually have a can of crescent roll dough
or pizza dough in my refrigerator
You can make so many things with it,
from breakfast to lunch to snacks,
dinner and even dessert!
I had a can of crescent roll sheet dough in the fridge
and plenty of ham and cheese
so I decided to make a different version of
Ham & Swiss Spirals with Mustard Poppy Seed Butter
I used deli Black Forest ham slices with grated sharp cheddar
and tangy bleu cheese crumbles
Prepare your dough on a sheet of parchment paper
It will aid in rolling the dough into a log
and then you can wrap the dough log in it
to chill in the refrigerator for easier cutting
Instead of cutting slices from one end to the other
it is best to cut a filled dough log
starting in the middle and cutting in half,
then cutting the halves in half again,
then slicing each of these smaller 4 logs
into 2 or 4 slices
Put the slices in a greased 9″ x 13″ baking dish,
drizzle with mustard butter,
and bake for about 25 minutes
You can change up the filling in infinite ways,
I will share some more combinations at the end of the post
Ham & Double Cheese Spirals
Equipment
- parchment paper
- 9" x 13" baking dish
Ingredients
Spirals
- 1 can crescent roll sheet
- 1/2 lb thinly sliced deli smoked ham
- 4 oz sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 oz bleu cheese crumbles
- 1/4 cup Maple Bacon Aioli or Mayonnaise
Mustard Butter
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 T Worcestershire sauce
- 1 T Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp minced onions
- 2 tsp poppy seeds, optional
Instructions
Spirals
- Unroll dough into a large rectangle on a piece of parchment paper, pinching seams together if necessary.
- Spread dough with Aioli or Mayonnaise
- Place ham on dough in an even layer.
- Now top with an even layer of cheddar cheese.
- Sprinkle bleu cheese crumbles over all
- Beginning at long side, carefully roll dough into a log, using the parchment paper as an aid, and rolling as tightly as possible. Repair any dough tears by pinching back together as you roll.
- Wrap dough in parchment and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to make slicing easier
- Carefully slice log roll into 14-16 slices. Place slices, cut side up, into a greased 9" x 13" shallow baking dish
- Drizzle spirals with mustard butter*
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until dough is puffed and golden
- Serve warm or at room temperature
Mustard Butter
- Melt butter and add mustard, minced onions, poppy seeds and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
Notes
It was a fun and easy dinner gathering
HHjr got a special Father’s Day card from CC and Charlie Brown
They have been calling him Uncle Coconut
ever since they shared a very funny coconut experience
I made the Father’s Day collage with PicMonkey
Here are some other favorite spiral recipes:
Sausage & Pepper Pizza Spirals
Blueberry Almond Pastries with Coconut Drizzle
So when you need an easy appetizer or sweet treat,
think spirals!

This was a lovely way to celebrate Father’s Day for your son and son-in-law. The MC’s tiered stand and black and white cloth was a pretty way to set up nibbles. Your spirals look delicious and I have to try the Almond Spirals. Another recipe keeper, thanks Jenna……..
Thanks Emily, I love to use the MKC tiered tray for nibbles, and I hope you try the almond spirals, they are one of my favorites!
Awesome that you had a great celebration with your son and son-in-law. Guacamole is my ultimate comfort food and I could eat the whole bowl and I am not kidding about it. The ham and cheese rollups look mouthwatering, Jenna.
Thanks Angie, sometimes the spirals turn out a little wonky looking but they taste so good it doesn’t matter 😂
Jenna, it looks like your family had a wonderful Father’s Day celebration! The spiral appetizer sounds yummy! The homemade card is precious! The homemade cards the kids made me when they were little are some of my most treasured items. Happy Wednesday!
Thank you Shannon, children’s homemade cards are always so sweet and cute, you are to smart to have saved yours…💕
I’ll take a spinach and artichoke roll! Yum!!!!

It sounds like a great celebration! I make those spirals too but never thought to use bleu cheese in them, great addition!
Thanks Martha, the bleu cheese really amps up the taste factor!
Both of these options look really good,Jenna. I bet the kids would like them,too. Thanks.
They’re pretty hard to resist, thanks Jeanie!
