Ham and Swiss Crescent Braid

  • 3/4 pound cooked ham, chopped (2 1/4 cups)
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (4 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon honey mustard
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) crescent dinner rolls
  • 1 egg white, beaten

Heat oven to 375°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir together ham, cheese, mayonnaise and mustard. Unroll both cans of dough into 2 large rectangles. Place dough with long sides together on cookie sheet to make 15×12 inch rectangle. Press edges and perforations to seal. Spoon and spread ham mixture lengthwise in 6 inch wide strip down center of dough. With kitchen scissor or sharp knife, make cuts 1 1/2 inches apart on long sides of dough to within 1/2 inch of filling. Twisting each strip once, alternately cross strips over filling. Tuck short ends under; press to seal. Brush dough with egg white. Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into slices.
