Ham & Cheese Croissant
When served warm and flaky, a ham and cheese croissant is a refined sandwich that instantly transports you to a French café. There are only four components, therefore it’s imperative that you utilize the highest caliber of each one. This is the ideal moment to spoil yourself with a beautiful Dijon mustard jar and the nicest ham and cheese slices your deli counter has to offer. If you’re really fancy, you can even make your own homemade croissants.
If you’re short on time, you may always get some fresh croissants from your favorite bakery. The flaky and deliciously buttery fresh croissants make this sandwich really come to life. For this reason, purchasing croissants from a bakery is a worthwhile investment as opposed to purchasing them in bags from the grocery store. You can also make this recipe with frozen croissants.
Ingredients
- Four big croissants
- Dijon mustard, four tablespoons
- Swiss cheese, eight slices
- Eight thinly cut deli ham slices
Steps to Make It
Assemble the components. Set the oven’s temperature to 350°F.
Halve four big croissants lengthwise and arrange them on a baking pan.
On each sliced piece, spread 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard.
Arrange one slice of Swiss cheese on the bottom of each croissant slice. To cover the croissant’s surface and prevent the hole in the middle, you might need to tear the slices in half.
Place two slices of the deli ham on top of each croissant.
Place the remaining cheese pieces on top, tearing them if needed.
Top with the croissant topping. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the croissants are toasty and warm and the cheese has melted.
Savor the freshly baked goods right out of the oven.
How to Store Ham and Cheese Croissants
- The ideal way to serve assembled and baked ham and cheese croissants is warm, straight out of the oven. They will become less crisp as they sit, even if they are left outside for a few hours.
- You can wrap up any leftover ham and cheese croissants and keep them in the fridge for up to a day. After that, you may reheat them in the microwave for 20 seconds or in an oven at 350 F for five minutes.
- Like all fresh bread, fresh croissants keep for a few days before being consumed, but they are best eaten the same day.
