Instructions
Creating Baked Ham and Cheese Croissants is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Croissant Dough: Open the package of croissant dough and separate the triangles.
3. Add Ham and Cheese: On each triangle, place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese. If desired, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the dough before adding the ham and cheese.
4. Roll the Croissants: Starting from the wide end, roll the triangle tightly toward the point. Make sure the filling is tucked in as you roll.
5. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
6. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the egg wash over each croissant for a golden finish.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and puffed up.
8. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh herbs over the top for added flavor.
10. Serve Warm: Enjoy your freshly baked ham and cheese croissants while they’re warm and gooey.
