Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Ham Slab Pie.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking sheet and give it a light spray of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Now, take one package of crescent roll dough and unroll it right onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Gently pinch the seams together and stretch the dough to fit the sheet, creating a lovely base for your delicious layers.
Step 5
Next, layer half of your sliced Cheddar cheese evenly over the dough, followed by a generous layer of sliced deli ham.
Step 6
Top it off with the remaining Cheddar cheese slices, creating a cheesy, savory delight.
Step 7
Now, unroll the second package of crescent roll dough on a clean surface.
Step 8
Just like before, pinch the seams together and carefully place it over your cheesy ham layers.
Step 9
Use a fork to press the edges and seal your pie, ensuring all that goodness stays tucked inside.
Step 10
To let the steam escape while baking, take a sharp knife and cut shallow slits into the top of the dough—this little step makes a big difference! In a small bowl, whisk together an egg and a splash of water to create a simple egg wash.
Step 11
Brush this golden mixture over the top of your dough, giving it a beautiful shine.
Step 12
For an extra touch, sprinkle sesame seeds, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 13
Now, it’s time to pop your creation into the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the top turns a gorgeous golden brown.
Step 14
As it bakes, your kitchen will fill with mouthwatering aromas that will have everyone eagerly awaiting the deliciousness to come! Enjoy your delightful crescent roll pie, perfect for any occasion!.
