Easy Baked Ham and Cheese Croissants Recipe

  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 package of pre-rolled croissant dough (or homemade croissant dough if preferred)

  • 8 slices of ham (thinly sliced)

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite melting cheese)

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

  • Optional: Dijon mustard or honey mustard for added flavor

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Croissant Dough

Unroll the croissant dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines. If using homemade dough, roll it out and cut it into triangles.

Step 3: Add the Fillings

Place a slice of ham on each triangle, ensuring it fits within the dough. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the ham. For extra flavor, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the dough before adding the ham and cheese.

Step 4: Roll the Croissants

Starting from the wider end, roll each triangle tightly toward the pointed end. Make sure the filling is securely tucked inside.

Step 5: Prepare the Egg Wash

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tops of the croissants with the egg wash. This will give them a golden, shiny finish.

Step 6: Bake the Croissants

Arrange the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor!
