HTML Directions

1

Gather Ingredients and Preheat Oven

Gather all your ingredients needed for the recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2

Slice Croissants

Cut 4 large croissants in half lengthwise and arrange them on a baking sheet.
3

Spread Dijon Mustard

Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on each cut side of the croissants.
4

Add Swiss Cheese

Place one slice of Swiss cheese on each bottom half of the croissants. The slices may need to be torn to cover the surface while avoiding the hole in the center.
5

Add Deli Ham

Layer two slices of deli ham on top of each croissant.
6

Top with Remaining Cheese

Add the remaining cheese slices on top, tearing them as needed.
7

Assemble and Bake

Place the top halves of the croissants on each assembly. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are warm and golden.
8

Serve Warm

Enjoy immediately, fresh and warm from the oven.

Only four top-quality ingredients are needed to create an elegant and tasty sandwich.
Using fresh bakery croissants makes your sandwich taste buttery and flaky, just like in a bistro.
The touch of Dijon mustard adds a deliciously tangy flavor, making the sandwich extra special.

A warm and flaky ham and cheese croissant is an elegant sandwich that can make you feel like you've been transported to a French bistro. With only four ingredients, it is important to make each component the highest quality. This is the time to invest in the best-sliced ham and cheese available at your deli counter, as well as a nice jar of Dijon mustard. If you really want to get fancy, you can even make your own homemade croissants.

If you don't have the time, you can always pick up some fresh croissants at your favorite bakery. It's worth splurging for bakery-made croissants over the ones in bags at the grocery—fresh croissants are wonderfully buttery and flaky, and make this sandwich really shine. Frozen croissants will also work in this recipe.

How to Store Ham and Cheese Croissants

Assembled and baked ham and cheese croissants are best when served hot and fresh from the oven. They can sit out for a few hours, but they will lose their crisp texture as they sit.
Leftover ham and cheese croissants can be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator for up to one day. They can then be reheated in a 350 F oven for 5 minutes or in the microwave for 20 seconds.
Although fresh croissants can last for a few days before consuming, like all fresh bread, they taste better when enjoyed on the same day.

Feeling Adventurous? Try This:

A variety of ham, cheese, and spread combinations can make the sandwiches unique:

Copycat Starbucks ham and cheese croissant - Use hickory-smoked ham and Swiss cheese.
For an Italian-inspired version - Try prosciutto, fontina cheese, and fig jam in place of the mustard.
Make it kid-friendly - Kids love a sweeter version of ham and cheese croissants made with honey-baked ham, cheddar cheese, and honey mustard.
Switch up the fillings - Black forest ham, muenster cheese, and whole-grain mustard also make for a delicious warm sandwich.
