Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Croissant dough
- 4 slices Sliced ham
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the croissant dough and separate it into triangles following the pre-cut lines.
Lay a slice of ham and a slice of cheese onto each triangle. The ham and cheese should not overlap the edges of the dough.
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on top of the cheese, if you like a bit of tanginess.
Starting from the base of each triangle, roll the dough until you reach the point, securing the ham and cheese inside. Curve the ends to form a crescent shape.
Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the top of each croissant with the egg wash to achieve a golden and shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious cheese and ham croissants warm.
