Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking sheet with cooking spray. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Unroll one package of crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently pinch the seams together to create a seamless base, stretching to fully cover the pan. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Create a luscious layer of Cheddar cheese slices over the dough, followed by the savory sliced ham. Top with the remaining Cheddar cheese slices, ensuring an even distribution of flavor. (7 minutes)

04

Step

Unroll the second package of crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface. Pinch the seams together, then carefully place over the cheese and ham layers. Use a fork to press the edges firmly, sealing the pie. Cut shallow slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking, preventing a soggy center. (10 minutes)

05

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the mixture evenly over the top of the dough. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is beautifully golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 15-20 minutes. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. (20 minutes)

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a thin layer of Dijon mustard before layering the ham and cheese.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyere or Swiss, for a unique twist.
To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, you can blind-bake it for 5-7 minutes before adding the fillings.
This slab pie can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.
