Best ways to enjoy it
When it comes to serving your Ham and Swiss Crescent Ring, there are plenty of tasty ideas. It stands well on its own, but pairing it with a fresh side salad or a bowl of fruit can elevate the meal. If you’re feeling fancy, a dollop of honey mustard sauce on the side makes for a delightful dip. For a complete brunch, consider serving it alongside scrambled eggs or a fruit parfait.
Keeping leftovers fresh
Storing your Ham and Swiss Crescent Ring is straightforward. To keep leftovers fresh, let them cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They can last in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to store it for longer, consider freezing the unbaked ring. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. When you’re ready to bake, you can cook it straight from frozen—just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
