Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large croissants
- 8 slices of deli ham
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Croissants:Â Slice each croissant horizontally but not all the way through, creating a pocket.
- Assemble Sandwiches:Â Inside each croissant, place 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Close the croissants and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Prepare Glaze:Â In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and honey. Mix well.
- Glaze Croissants:Â Brush the tops of the croissants generously with the honey-Dijon butter mixture. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
- Bake:Â Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Serve:Â Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- For a different flavor, try using Gruyère cheese instead of Swiss.
- Adding a thin layer of Dijon mustard inside the croissant before adding the ham and cheese can provide an extra tangy flavor.
- These croissants are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes.
