Baked Ham and Cheese Croissants
Ingredients

- 6 slices of cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or your choice)
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the croissants:

- Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on top of the mustard.
- Replace the top half of the croissant.
- Brush with butter:
- Lightly brush the tops of the croissants with melted butter.
- Bake:
- Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are golden brown.
- Garnish and serve:
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley (if using) and serve warm.
Tips
- Add-ins: Add sliced tomatoes, spinach, or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
- Make ahead: Assemble the croissants the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake them in the morning for a fresh, warm breakfast.
- Serving suggestion: Pair with a side salad or soup for a light meal.
