Saturday always seems like boring lunch day in our house. Does it seem that way in your house, too? We need to change that, STAT! I recently came up with a delicious honey ham and cheese dipper recipe that has transformed our weekend lunches forever! These dippers are a perfect light lunch. If your family is feeling extra hungry, these ham and cheese dippers go great with a bowl of Zuppa Toscana soup, too!
Our ham and cheese dippers are a great way to bring homemade flavor back into your weekend lunch routine. I know for us, the past year was literally the year of bland weekend lunches. We’re recommitting our household to homemade this year and starting with this fun ham and cheese recipe; what’s more classic than ham and cheese, right?
Have you recently taken up any new activities? Maybe your kids just started basketball or skiing? Well, we’ve recently taken up snowshoeing and it’s awesome! While we are just beginners, it’s fun to traverse the backwoods in our town, discover new places and see the sights.
Psst… Follow me on Instagram to see all of our foodie, DIY and travel adventures!
When we come home to take a break from exploring, we need to refuel with a delicious lunch. But we want more than just a sandwich, it has to be something quick, easy and delicious. Queue the honey ham and cheese dippers, a nice hot meal for the whole family! Do yourself a favor though, get a nice quality ham. I suggest the Castle Wood Reserve® Honey Ham.
We love the Castle Wood Reserve® meats because they taste great, have no binders, no MSG, they’re trans-fat free, and they’re gluten free too! Make sure next time you’re at Walmart to check out the deli coolers and grab a few packages of Castle Wood Reserve® meats.
Okay, let’s get to our family time, homemade ham and cheese dipper recipe. These are perfect for a nice hot lunch on the weekends, and you can get the kids involved in making them too! These dippers are a perfect way to bring the family around the table for a weekend lunch.

- 1Â can refrigerated crescent rolls; rolled out, pinched and cut into 2.5″ squares
- 1 egg; beaten

Lightly drizzle ham and cheese with honey. Fold each square diagonally and pinch edges together. Brush tops of dippers with beaten egg.
Bake for 8-11 minutes or until crescent rolls are lightly golden brown; serve warm with dip (recipe below).
While your ham and cheese dippers are baking, we need to make the dip! This dip is super-simple and goes perfectly with our ham and cheese crescent dippers.

These honey ham and cheese dippers really are a simple and delicious hot lunch for the whole family. A new way to recommit to having a homemade lunch that’s exactly what everyone loves.
Of course, to make a delicious ham and cheese dipper you must choose premium quality product at a great value retailer, like Walmart. We found the Castle Wood Reserve® products right in the deli area coolers, near the produce section.
Aside from Castle Wood Reserve® Honey Ham, I also grabbed a pack of Castle Wood Reserve® Virginia Brand Smoked Ham and Castle Wood Reserve® Oven Roasted Turkey Breast. It’s always good to grab an extra pack or two of different varieties.
Since we have plenty of Castle Wood Reserve® meats, we’re tossing together simple Antipasti board for an evening snack when guests come over. These meats are versatile enough to make everything from lunch box sandwiches, to ham and cheese dippers, and even the fanciest antipasti board.

I needed to see this recipe! Was wondering how those yummies were made. Never thought of using crescent rolls! So many things to stuff them with! Thank you for the inspiration!
Ohhhh! A dijon, lemon and garlic combo sounds great!
Looks great! Will modify a bit for my crew as they do not care to mix savory and sweet. Thinking a dijon, lemon, garlic combo. Castle Wood Reserve product line is spotty at best in my area, and will have to substitute accordingly. Will serve as posted for my next girls night in, they will love it, with a nice glass of vino! Thanks for sharing! ☺
