Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the croissant sandwiches evenly and melt the cheese perfectly.
Spread the Jams and Mustard: Spread 1 teaspoon of apricot jelly or jam on one half of each sliced croissant, and spread 1 teaspoon of honey mustard on the other half, creating a sweet and tangy flavor base.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Place 2 slices of Havarti cheese on the half with apricot jelly, and layer 4 slices of roasted or smoked deli turkey on the half with honey mustard. Sprinkle microgreens generously over the turkey side, then close each sandwich by bringing both halves together.
Add Garlic Butter and Seasoning: Brush the tops of the croissants with melted garlic butter for richness, then sprinkle everything bagel seasoning evenly over the buttered surface to add a flavorful crunch.
Bake to Melt and Crisp: Place the croissants on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are warmed through and slightly crisp on the outside.
Finish with Honey Drizzle and Serve: Remove the croissants from the oven and drizzle honey over the tops for a touch of sweetness. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture experience.
