Ingredients
Scale
- 8 mini croissants
- 4 slices smoked cheddar cheese (halved)
- ¾ pound deli-cut ham
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ to 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large egg white
- Poppy seeds (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Place a half slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each croissant, followed by a slice of ham, and then another half slice of cheese. Place the top half of the croissant over the fillings to form a sandwich.
- Combine the softened butter, yellow mustard, honey, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Spread the butter mixture evenly on the inside of each croissant sandwich.
- Arrange the assembled croissant sandwiches in the prepared baking dish.
- Whisk together the egg white with a splash of water in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Choose high-quality ham and cheese for the best flavor. Don’t overstuff the croissants to keep them manageable.
