How to Make Ham Swiss Crescent Braid

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked ham, broccoli, Swiss cheese, mushrooms, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Mix well.
  3. Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough onto a clean surface to form two 12x8 inch rectangles. Gently press the seams together to create a single 12x16 inch rectangle.
  4. Place the dough rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Press the edges and perforations together firmly to seal.
  5. Spoon the ham mixture evenly along the center of the dough rectangle, creating a 6-inch wide strip.
  6. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, make 1 1/2-inch cuts along both long sides of the dough, stopping about 1/2 inch from the filling.
  7. Alternately twist each strip once and cross over the filling. Tuck the short ends of the dough under and press to seal.
  8. Brush the top of the braid with the beaten egg white.
  9. Bake for 28-33 minutes, or until the braid is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
  10. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
