Broccoli Ham Ring

4 oz. ham, chopped
4 oz. fresh broccoli, chopped
1/4 C. onion, chopped
1/2 C. fresh parsley, chopped
1 C. grated Swiss cheese (about 170g/6 oz.)
2 T. Dijon-style mustard
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 pkg. (226g/8 oz.) refrigerated crescent rolls

Preheat oven 350ºF.

Coarsely chop ham, broccoli and onion. Add parsley, cheese, mustard and lemon juice to ham mixture; mix well. Unroll crescent dough separate into 16 triangles. Arrange triangles in a circle on a 13 round baking stone with wide ends of triangles overlapping in the center and points toward the outside. (There should be a 5-inch diameter opening in the center of Stone.)

Scoop ham mixture evenly onto widest end of each triangle. Bring outside points of triangles up over filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center of ring. (Filling will not be completely covered.) Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown

Substituting Honey Dijon Salad Dressing for the mustard is good too...

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have the PC favorites. I have so many cookbooks I didn't know where to look. Started with All the best and it wasn't there.

Question since it's one of your favorites....do you use swiss or cheddar cheese (since it calls for either in the PC favorites)? And do you really use Diijon mustard (eww!)?

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I use a colby jack ...... it has both the cheddar and white in it... gives it a really good flavor.

 

[janetupnorth]

I use swiss in it, others don't seem to taste as good...the Dijon is not "noticeable" unless it is missing...I do like the new salad dressing substitute I tried recently - much better flavor to me...

 

[janetupnorth]

Never tried colby jack in it...may have to try that next time...

I just made this. CUT DOWN ON THE ONIONS AND THE MUSTARD!!! That was something all the guests said. It was really oniony!!! I don't think I will do this one again. There are much better recipes. I would talk her into the trifle!

uh oh! Too much onion and mustard? Anyone else have that reaction or get that reaction from guests?

As for talking her into a trifle - I'm now beginning to find out she's an ex-consultant with a know it all attitude. She had her hubby 'poll' the gals at his work coming and they stated they wanted a ring/wreath. She herself wasn't excited about the trifle and stated it was 'too ordinary'. Like a PC ring is original? I, as a guest, had them at many, many shows! She also was the one I mentioned in the trifle thread that stated she didn't like coffee, toffee (Heath bars), marshmallows, cherries, coconut, raisins and didn't want to buy fruit this time of year. Didn't leave me a lot of recipe choices in the trifle department. Oh yea, and she didn't want chocolate or ANY whipped cream I found out tonight. SHE informed ME that her guests want a ring and SHE wants it to be the ham broccoli one.

This is the first host I've had who didn't choose either my sweet or savory option! I'm just going to go with it since it's supposedly what the guests want and keep a smile on. Hopefully the guests are better and not so annoying, full of themselves, high maintenance as she is! Anyway, thanks for letting me vent and if someone else could let me know their or their guests opinion on the onion and mustard thing so I know whether to modify it, it would be very helpful and much appreciated!

Thanks everyone!

Janet,

Where did you get this recipe from? Which book? I have the PC favourites here and it doesn't call for mayo????? Should I include mayo or not? Anyone?

I ALWAYS do it without mayo. This was from the Pampered Chef Favorites or Favorites II which were out early to mid '90s.

As for the onion, never had a problem and the Dijon mustard either - must be the part of the US where you may be (used to different tastes) or different crowds. I do like substituting the Honey Dijon salad dressing, it does cut out the "sharp dijon" flavor.

Interesting - Dijon is cut to 1T and mayo is added in this one...maybe as a response to "too much Dijon"????

 

[janetupnorth]

Have to revive this thread because I got hungry for this and wanted it the other night but realized I had no broccoli in the house. So...I chopped up some cilantro and put it in instead...it was a yummy recipe/variation! So if you like cilantro try this out!!!!

I've been making this ring since 1995. I love it, and I use the original amounts of everything.
