Description

This Ham and Cheese Croissant recipe combines the buttery flakiness of croissants with savory ham, melted Swiss cheese, and a hint of Dijon mustard for a delicious and satisfying meal or snack.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Butter Mixture:

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Croissants:

  • 12 mini croissants, halved horizontally
  • 1 pound thinly sliced smoked deli ham
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese, diagonally sliced
  • 1 large egg white
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9 x 13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
  2. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine butter, Dijon mustard, green onions, and honey. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Assemble Croissants: Spread the butter mixture on each side of the croissants. Fill each croissant with ham and Swiss cheese to make 12 sandwiches.
  4. Bake Croissants: Place the croissants in a single layer on the prepared baking dish. Whisk together the egg white and water, then brush the tops of the croissants with the mixture. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and toasted. Let the croissants stand for 5 minutes before serving warm.
