Description
Golden, buttery croissants filled with savory ham, melty cheese, and a hint of Dijon, baked to perfection for a flaky, cheesy, irresistible dish.
Ingredients
- 4 croissants (preferably day-old)
- 4 oz sliced ham
- 4 oz sliced Gruyère or Swiss cheese
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice croissants horizontally, not cutting all the way through. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard inside.
- Layer ham and cheese evenly in each croissant and gently press closed.
- Place croissants on the baking sheet and brush tops with melted butter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Try cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack for different cheese flavors.
- Optional add-ins: thin tomato slices, spinach, or caramelized onions.
- Reheat in the oven at 325°F (163°C) for 10 minutes for best texture.
