These Baked Ham and Cheese Croissants are a deliciously cheesy and savory pastry treat, perfect for a comforting breakfast or a satisfying snack. Filled with layers of ham and Swiss cheese, then baked until golden and melty, they are quick to prepare and delightfully flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 slices of deli ham (about 200g)
  • 8 slices of Swiss cheese or Gruyère (about 120g)
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)

Pastry

  • 4 large croissants, sliced in half
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare croissants: Slice each croissant in half horizontally. If desired, spread Dijon mustard and mayonnaise on the inside surfaces for added moisture and flavor.
  3. Assemble croissants: Layer 2 slices of deli ham and 2 slices of Swiss cheese inside each croissant half. Then close the croissants carefully and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Butter tops: Brush the tops of the closed croissants lightly with the melted unsalted butter to promote browning and add a rich flavor.
  5. Bake: Bake the assembled croissants in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese inside is melted and the croissants turn golden brown and crisp on top.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then serve warm for the best taste experience. Enjoy your baked ham and cheese croissants!

Notes

  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère or any good melting cheese of your choice.
  • Using Dijon mustard and mayonnaise adds extra flavor and moisture but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Serve these croissants warm for the best cheesy melt and flaky texture.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to preserve crispness rather than microwaving.
  • For a richer version, sprinkle some grated cheese on top before baking.
