Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the vegan puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the puff pastry into six equal triangles.
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over each triangle, focusing more towards the middle.
Place a slice of vegan cheese and a slice of vegan deli ham on the wider end of each triangle.
Roll each triangle starting from the wide end towards the pointed tip, tucking the ends underneath to form a croissant shape.
In a small bowl, mix the almond milk and maple syrup to create a vegan egg wash substitute.
Brush each croissant lightly with the almond milk mixture.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each croissant for added texture and flavor.
Carefully place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
