Sandwich Wreath

This is the way it looked before baking.


Here it is fresh from the oven!


I successfully made a wonderful recipe that a friend usually makes for our Bible study potlucks and thought I'd share the recipe. The actual name for it is "Ham Florentine Wreath" but I like to call it Sandwich Wreath.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and then prepare the filling. Combine:

1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 1/2 c. (8 oz.) diced cooked ham
1/4 c. green onions with tops, thinly sliced
1 c. (5 oz.) shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 c. mayo.

(I actually used minced onions instead of green onions, less spinach, ham lunchmeat, and regular pizza shredded cheese and it tasted great.) Once the filling is made, slice 8 grape tomatoes in half so they will be ready.

Take out a round pizza pan (I covered it with foil) and unroll one package of crescent rolls. With wide ends of the triangles toward the center of the pan, arrange the 8 triangles in a circle. The corners of the wide ends will touch and the narrow points will extend 1 inch beyond the edge of the pan. Unroll another package of crescent rolls and arrange them between the first 8 triangles. The recipe says to place them in the same direction as the first 8 but I (accidentally) placed them with the tips pointing into the center and it worked just fine. The wide ends will overlap with the first 8 triangles.

Place the filling over the wide ends of the triangles, forming a circle. Place one half of a grape tomato on top of each triangle and sprinkle with more grated cheese. Lift the narrow end of the triangles over the mixture, tucking in the end and brush egg white over the dough. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
