Ham and Cheese Croissant Recipe
Description
This recipe uses mini croissants sliced horizontally to create sandwiches filled with thinly sliced smoked deli ham and diagonal slices of Swiss cheese. The croissant halves are brushed with a butter mixture seasoned with Dijon mustard, thinly sliced green onions, honey, sea salt, and black pepper enhancing the overall flavor profile. After assembling the sandwiches, an egg white wash is applied to the tops, which are then sprinkled with poppy seeds for texture and visual appeal.
Cooking at 375°F, the croissants bake for about 15 to 18 minutes until golden and toasted, ensuring the butter mixture melts slightly and melds with the ham and cheese inside. The result is a combination of flaky croissant layers, smoky ham, and creamy Swiss cheese, complemented by the slightly tangy and sweet spread. Letting the croissants rest five minutes before serving allows flavors to settle and fillings to warm evenly.
The recipe is straightforward, making it convenient for gatherings or quick meals. The Dijon and honey in the butter mixture provide a mild balance of sharpness and sweetness that enriches the savory ham and cheese filling without overpowering it.
