Description

Buttery Garlic Baked Croissants filled with savory turkey and creamy Havarti cheese, enhanced with apricot jelly, honey mustard, microgreens, and a sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning. These warm, flaky sandwiches offer a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors, ideal for a quick yet indulgent meal.


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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the croissants.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
