Ham and cheese croissants are a delicious, savory pastry that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light snack. Here’s a simple recipe for making them at home:
Ingredients:
1 package of croissant dough (usually comes in a tube)
8 slices of ham (you can use deli ham or any variety you prefer)
8 slices of cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or Gruyère are great options)
1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Follow the instructions on the croissant dough packaging, usually around 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the croissant dough: Unroll the croissant dough and separate the triangles along the perforated lines.
Assemble the croissants:
Place a slice of ham on each croissant triangle.
Add a slice of cheese on top of the ham.
Roll up the croissants from the wide end towards the tip.
Optional – Egg wash: If you like a golden, shiny finish, beat the egg and brush it over the top of the croissants before baking.
Bake: Arrange the croissants on a baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until golden and puffed.
Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
