Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Pre-made croissant dough
- 8 slices Sliced ham
- 8 slices Sliced cheese (e.g., Swiss, Cheddar, or Gruyere)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the pre-made croissant dough onto a clean, flat surface, separating the triangles along the perforated lines.
Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the pointed tip, encasing the ham and cheese. Place each rolled croissant seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of each croissant with the egg wash to create a golden, glossy finish.
Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm, flaky ham and cheese croissants!
