Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Low sodium cooked ham
- 4 slices Low sodium cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Fresh croissants
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 sliced Tomato
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the croissants in half horizontally but not all the way through, leaving the two halves attached on one side.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe dish.
Brush the inside of each croissant with a small amount of melted butter.
Layer the bottom half of each croissant with a few spinach leaves, followed by a piece of low sodium cheese, 2-3 slices of low sodium ham, and a couple of tomato slices.
Sprinkle each with a pinch of black pepper.
Place the top half of the croissant back in place and transfer them onto a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 7-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted, and the croissants are slightly golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven, let them cool for a minute, and serve warm.
