01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking sheet with cooking spray. Roll out one package of crescent roll dough onto the baking sheet, pinching the seams together and stretching it to cover the whole pan. Next, layer slices of Cheddar cheese evenly over the dough, then add the ham, and top with more Cheddar slices.

Step 2
On a clean surface, roll out the second package of crescent roll dough and pinch the seams together. Carefully place this second layer over the cheese and ham, pressing the edges down with a fork to seal everything in. Cut a few shallow slits on top of the dough to help steam escape while it bakes.

Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together an egg and a splash of water, then brush this mixture over the top crust. Sprinkle sesame seeds, salt, and pepper over the egg wash for some extra flavor and crunch. Pop the pie in the oven and bake until the crust turns a lovely golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let it cool just a bit before slicing and serving.
