These babies are super easy, cute, and tasty. The recipe comes from one of the Pampered Chef cookbooks. I don’t use all their fancy equipment, but I suppose you could if you wanted to. You can easily make them with your regular kitchen utensils and it is a great way to use up some left over ham.
I’ve made these several times for various parties and I never get to bring any home. You can also make the filling the night before and bake them off in the morning. They are best eaten slightly warm or room temperature the day they are made.
Ham & Cheese Puffs
1 pkg (2.5 oz) ham, finely chopped
2 tbls finely chopped onion
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg
1 tbls snipped fresh parsley (1 tsp dried)
1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 pkg (80z) refrigerated crescent rolls (or dough sheet)
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray two mini-muffin tin pans with non-stick cooking spray. Finely chop ham and onions using a food processor. Add ham, onion, cheese, egg, parsley, mustard, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix well.
Unroll crescent roll dough and press into one large rectangle (or try to find the large crescent roll dough sheet). Cut dough into 24 squares using a pizza cutter. Lightly press one square into each muffin cup.
Using a small spoon, fill each muffin cup with a little of the ham mixture. Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan and enjoy while warm.
I am so happy to have found this recipe! I found it in one of the little pampered Chef cookbooks that I got about 25 years ago and I still have the cookbook somewhere but can’t find it. I used to make these all the time years ago with Swiss cheese instead of cheddar and I can’t wait to make them again for Christmas!
Awesome. Swiss sounds amazing. w-
I lay my cresent roll dough on some yellow cornmeal also. Gives the finished product a crunchier texture.
these are the best. Sometimes I change the flavor of shredded cheese I use swiss cheese alot.
These look really good!
LOL Tanya! I’m glad y’all liked it! And no I don’t have your pans…I double checked just to make sure.

These were tasty! Made them tonight, double recipe, made in regular muffin tins (since I can’t find my mini-one. You SURE you don’t have it, W?). Was a big hit with all, from 14 months to 39 years. Very fast, very easy, and simple to adjust-to-taste. Thanks W!
