Take note
Be careful not to overstuff your croissants or they may burst open in the oven. Always handle hot food with caution to avoid burns.

1

Preheat and prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will ensure that your croissants come out perfectly cooked and easy to remove from the baking sheet.

2

Slice and layer

Take your croissants and slice them in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom piece. Place a slice of ham and a slice of your favorite cheese on the bottom half of each croissant. Feel free to get creative with your cheese selection - cheddar, Swiss, or even pepper jack are all great choices!

3

Fold and seal

Fold the top half of each croissant over the ham and cheese filling, creating a satisfying sandwich. Gently press the edges to seal the croissants shut, making sure none of the delicious filling escapes during baking.

4

Brush and bake

In a small bowl, whisk together an egg and a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash. This will give them a beautiful golden brown color when baked. Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet.

5

Bake and enjoy

Pop the baking sheet with the ham and cheese croissants into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese is gooey and melted. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid any burning. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the mouthwatering aroma and dig into your savory creation!
