Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Croissant dough
- 8 slices Sliced ham
- 100 grams Gruyère cheese
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the croissant dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 triangles of even size.
Place one slice of ham and a small handful of cheese (about 12.5 grams) on the widest part of each triangle.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper over the ham and cheese.
Starting from the widest edge, carefully roll up each triangle toward the tip, tucking the contents inside.
Place each rolled croissant, tip side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of each croissant with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the croissants are puffed up and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
