Ingredients

4 large croissants
8 slices deli ham (about 6 oz)
4 slices Swiss cheese (or Gruyère)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice each croissant horizontally almost in half, leaving one side attached.
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each croissant, if desired.
Layer 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of cheese inside each croissant.
Close the croissants and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops with softened butter.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the croissants are golden brown.
Serve warm.

Tips

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of black pepper or a pinch of dried thyme.
These croissants can be assembled ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
To reheat leftovers, warm in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
