HAM & CHEESE CRESCENT BUNDLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Unroll crescent dough and separate into 4 rectangles; press perforations to seal., Spread each rectangle with 2 tablespoons dip to within 1/2 in. of edges. Top with ham and cheese. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Cut each roll crosswise into thirds; place in greased muffin cups, cut sides down., Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Run a knife around edges to remove from pan.

HAM AND CHEESE BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the olive oil. Spread the vegetables in the bottom, then top with a layer of the cheeses, then the ham, and then the scallions.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Pour the mixture over the layers and bake until lightly golden and the egg is set, about 50 minutes Allow the bake to sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

HAM AND CHEESE BUNS

Steps:

• For the dough: Warm the milk and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over low heat until it is about 100 degrees F (but no more than 110 degrees). Remove the saucepan from the heat, and sprinkle the yeast over the liquid. Sprinkle a pinch of the sugar over the top, and set aside without stirring until foamy, about 5 minutes. Then whisk in the butter and egg yolk.
• Whisk together the flour, remaining sugar and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and stir in the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until you've made a thick, slightly sticky dough. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface, and knead until soft and elastic, about 6 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball.
• Brush the inside of a large bowl with butter. Put the dough ball in the buttered bowl, turning to coat lightly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, trace a circle the size of the dough ball on the plastic and note the time. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Turn the dough out of the bowl, and knead briefly to release excess air; re-form the dough into a ball, and return it to the bowl. Lightly butter a large piece of plastic wrap, and lay it on the dough. Cover the entire bowl tightly with the rest of the plastic, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight to let the dough proof.
• For the filling: Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and just beginning to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the leeks with the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and toasted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the wine and 1/4 cup water, and let the mixture thicken, whisking constantly, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the Gruyere, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer the filling to a medium bowl, and let cool completely. (The filling will firm up a bit, but if it's too warm, it will be difficult to form the rolls.)
• For the rolls: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with the 2 tablespoons softened butter. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface, and press it flat. Roll it into a 10-by-18-inch rectangle, with 1 long edge facing you. Spread the cooled filling evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border on the side opposite you. Sprinkle the ham over the filling. Starting from the side facing you, roll the dough up into a tight roll. Lightly brush the 1-inch border with water, and continue rolling to seal the roll. Fold the ends in just a bit, and if any spots look thicker than others, even out the roll with your hands.
• Cut the roll every 1 1/2 inches with a serrated knife, to make 12 pinwheel slices. Place the slices flat in the prepared pan (put the end pieces cut-side up), spacing them 1 inch apart. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap. Set in a warm place to rise until the slices double in size with no gaps in between, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake the buns until they're golden brown and the tops spring back when pressed lightly, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

HAM-AND-CHEESE ASPARAGUS BUNDLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Trim asparagus into 5-inch spears. Add to pan of boiling water; cook 2 to 3 min. or just until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, discard trimmed asparagus pieces or reserve for another use. (See tip.)

• Meanwhile, cover baking sheet with parchment; spray with cooking spray. Unfold pastry sheet onto lightly floured cutting board; roll into 9-inch square. Spread with mustard; cut into 9 (3-inch) squares.
• Drain asparagus; pat dry. Wrap 2 ham slices around 3 asparagus spears. Repeat with remaining ham slices and asparagus spears to make 8 additional bundles.
• Place 1 cheese slice diagonally on top of each pastry square; top with wrapped asparagus bundle.
• Whisk egg and water until blended; brush onto uncovered pastry points. Bring opposite points of pastry squares over tops of asparagus bundles; press pastry together to seal. Place on prepared baking sheet. Brush pastry with remaining egg wash; sprinkle with pepper.
• Bake 20 to 22 min. or until golden brown.

HAM AND ASPARAGUS BUNDLES WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk sauce mix and milk together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add butter. Bring to a boil, stirring until melted and smooth. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook asparagus for 3 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer to a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels.
• Wrap a slice of ham around 4 asparagus spears and place on a serving tray. Repeat with remaining asparagus and ham. Drizzle hollandaise sauce over the asparagus bundles and garnish with dill.

PARMESAN CHICKEN, PROVOLONE AND HAM BUNDLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F (if using dark or nonstick pan, heat oven to 350°F).

• Center 1 provolone cheese slice and 1 ham slice on each rectangle, folding to fit if needed. Top each with 1 chicken tender. Starting at 7-inch side, roll up each bundle. Press ends and seam to seal. Tuck ends under. On ungreased cookie sheet, place seam side down. Brush with butter; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
