You can make these flaky, buttery baked ham and cheese croissants quickly. They fill with savory ham and melty cheese, making them a satisfying choice for breakfast, brunch, or a simple lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 store-bought crescent rolls (refrigerated dough)
  • 8 slices deli ham
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese or Gruyère
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Carefully unroll the crescent dough. Separate the triangles.
  3. If using whole croissants, slice each one in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. If using triangles, gently stretch each triangle slightly.
  4. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the inside of the bottom half of each croissant, if you are using it.
  5. Layer one slice of ham and one slice of cheese onto the bottom half of each croissant.
  6. Place the top half of the croissant over the filling. Gently press the edges together to seal the filling inside.
  7. Place the assembled croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops of the croissants lightly with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted and gooey.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
  • Use your favorite cheese, such as cheddar or provolone, if Swiss is not available.
  • This recipe works well for a crowd-pleasing brunch dish.
