Hey there, fine reader.
It’s Valentines Day, you know.
I sure hope you have a little (or big) someone you like to kiss and hug. Because hugging and kissing is pretty nice to do on Valentines Day, don’t you think? A long kiss on the lips of your sweetheart, a gentle kiss on the forehead of your scraggly haired 5 year old, a sweet kiss on the cheek for dear old mom, or how about a nice big bear hug for your teenage daughter or son. All good. All great in fact.
I hope you get to have all (or at least one) of the above. 🙂
And if not…don’t sweat it. Tomorrow the day of love will have passed and there will be a lot of cheap Valentines Day candy on clearance at Walmart. Happy days are here again, right?

Spread some mustard on the rolled out dough before the cheese and ham, they’ll taste even more amazing!

Could I make the dough the night before and put it in the fridge until the next evening? I am going to a friends house to do the cooking but will not have time to make the dough there.
Kara,
It would be best to make them from start to finish, once they have cooled cover them with plastic wrap and store in the fridge. When you are ready to serve remove the plastic wrap and heat them in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. Best of luck to you!

Love this recipe! I’m a busy college student and its something I would like to make to keep in the freezer for last minute lunches/dinners. Are they best to roll them and slice them and then freeze, or bake first and then put in the freezer? Also, if they come right out of the freezer, what temperature would you suggest baking them at and for how long?
Thanks!
Hi Sarah,
I would bake them, then after they cool you can put them in a freezer safe ziploc bag and pop them in the freexer. Put them in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes to reheat. Best of luck to you!

For me, the mother of the pickiest eater in the universe, he LOVES these. He has always liked ham and then he discovered mom was right about cheddar cheese and aside from making chicken nuggets and chicken fingers, we now have something new and yummy he will eat. 🙂

Hi wanted to know can you use dough that’s already made n just roll out.
I appreciate you taking to time to contribute That’s very helpful.
I’m making this for school. Do you think I could make it the night before or that morning and give them out around 1:00 pm? I don’t know if I should freeze it and leave it freezed and serve it like that or freeze it the night before and bake it in the morning.
Maria,
Thanks for your question. This recipe will freeze well, but you will need to make them from start to finish (including baking them), then let them cool completely before you freeze them. Once you are ready to serve, let them thaw on the counter for about an hour then reheat in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
Hope this helps!

These were a great starting off point for me! I decided to amp it up a bit and I melted a few cloves of garlic with some butter on the stove getting the garlic nice and toasty and then painted that on the dough before adding chives and half a large scallion that had been diced to the mix! I would have also knocked a good sprinkling of garlic powder over these if I had any. I also brushed the tops of each of them with the garlic butter. My fiancé ate 7 in one sitting which while not very good for him, at least I know that none are going to waste! I didn’t divide my dough as well as I probably should have (I used a scale and everything and yet still…) as one roll ended up much thicker than the other! Super delicious, thanks for the recipe!
Oops, not half a large scallion half a large shallot!
Niaomi,
Wow, that sounds fantastic. You made some great additions! So happy to hear they turned out well. 🙂
All the best,
~Jamie

I bought already made dough from Publix and followed the steps from letting it rest and adding the ingredients. I skipped a step thinking I could because this wasn’t homemade dough. Please note that if you decide to use dough from your grocery store that you still need to do the step of putting them in the oven at170 fro 10 minutes or else your dough will not puff up.

Jamie, I just wanted to pop in again to thank you for this recipe. My daughter and I made these this last weekend before Spring Break trip. Anytime our family is taking a road trip we always make these to take with as a portable, good for us snack. Thanks so much for sharing this and so many other recipes that have become staples in our family menu.
