1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough, 8 count; use GF crescent dough for gluten-free
8 slices deli ham, no added salt or low-sodium variety
8 slices sharp cheddar cheese, sliced to fit the triangle; aged sharp cheddar gives the best Hot Pocket flavor
1 egg
1 tbsp water

Steps

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
Lay one slice of ham on each triangle, then one slice of sharp cheddar. Fold or trim to fit: do not let filling overhang the edges or it will leak.
Roll from the wide end toward the tip, tucking the sides in as you go. Press the seam and tip firmly to seal. No added salt needed: the ham and cheddar bring plenty of flavor.
Whisk the egg and water together, then brush lightly over each roll. Bake 12 to 14 minutes until deep golden brown.
Rest 2 minutes before eating: the cheese will be very hot inside.

Chef's notes

Sharp cheddar is key: mild cheddar won't give you that Hot Pocket punch. To make rectangles instead of rolls: press two triangles together, fold over the filling like a calzone, and crimp edges with a fork. Reheat in an air fryer at 325°F for 3 to 4 minutes to keep them crispy. Use GF crescent dough for a gluten-free version safe for Meg.
