Ham and Cheese "Magic Bread"

If I ever had a cooking show it would probably have something to do with skipping going to the grocery store every time you want to make something new and using what you can find in your fridge and pantry. As Phil says, we could probably eat for a week off of everything we have stocked in the cabinets, freezer and fridge, but most people don't know how to combine it all together. So here's what I came up with one evening.

Ingredients:
*3/4 package of Hormel All Natural Deli Ham
*1c shredded mozzerella
*4 wedges of Laughing Cow Light Swiss Garlic and Herb cheese
*1 small package crescent roll dough

The Making:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Stack the ham into one big pile and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. In a bowl combine the ham, mozzarella, and the Swiss (broken apart and crumbled). Mix until all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Open the crescent package and separate the triangles. Place so the the long straight side is to the right, and the short straight side is towards you. Put a heaping tablespoon (or more) of the ham mixture on the bottom of the dough. Fold the bottom corners up and start rolling towards the point. Place on a pizza stone (or a baking sheet lined with parchment). Bake according to the crescent package directions. Serve warm.

Tips and Talk:

Miles named this, and it will forever be known as "Magic Bread" so I think he liked it. I made this with Whole Steamed Artichokes and salad and it made a really nice weeknight meal. I'm sure you could substitute the ham for pepperoni, broccoli, spinach, anything you have. These could also make great appetizers for a party if you cut the dough in half before rolling.
