Ingredients
Croissants and Spread
- 4 large croissants, sliced
- 4 teaspoons apricot jelly or jam
- 4 teaspoons honey mustard
Filling
- 8 slices creamy Havarti cheese
- 16 slices deli turkey, roasted or smoked
- ½ cup microgreens
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons melted garlic butter
- Everything Bagel seasoning (to taste)
- Honey drizzle (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the croissants.
- Spread Condiments: Spread 1 teaspoon of apricot jelly or jam on one half of each sliced croissant and 1 teaspoon of honey mustard on the other half to add a balanced sweet and tangy flavor.
- Assemble Filling: Place 2 slices of creamy Havarti cheese on one half and 4 slices of roasted or smoked deli turkey on the other half of each croissant. Sprinkle microgreens over the turkey halves for freshness and crunch, then close each sandwich carefully.
- Prepare Croissants for Baking: Brush the tops of the assembled croissants with the melted garlic butter. Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning generously over the tops to add a savory and aromatic crust. Finally, drizzle honey over the tops for a subtle sweetness.
- Bake and Serve: Arrange the croissants on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the croissants are warm and fragrant. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Ensure the croissants are sliced but not cut completely in half to hold the fillings better.
- You can substitute Havarti cheese with Swiss or Gruyère cheese for a different flavor profile.
- Adjust the amount of honey and jelly to your sweetness preference.
- For extra crunch, lightly toast the croissants before assembling.
- Leftover croissants can be wrapped tightly and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat before serving.
