Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 batch Croissant dough
- 200 grams Sliced ham
- 100 grams Gruyere cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the croissant dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Cut the dough into triangles with a base of approximately 6 inches and sides of 8 inches.
Place a few slices of ham and a small handful of grated Gruyere cheese at the base of each triangle.
Starting at the base, gently roll up the dough, enclosing the ham and cheese. Curve the rolled dough slightly into a crescent shape.
Transfer each rolled croissant to the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between each for expansion in the oven.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to make an egg wash and brush it lightly over each croissant.
Place a small dab of butter on top of each croissant for extra flavor and shine.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your freshly baked ham croissants!
