Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Store-bought croissant dough
- 4 slices Vegetarian ham slices
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 30 grams Baby spinach leaves
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the store-bought croissant dough on a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles as pre-cut on the package.
Place one slice of vegetarian ham and about 25 grams (1/4 of the total) of cheddar cheese on the wider end of each dough triangle.
Add a few baby spinach leaves on top of the cheese for added nutrition and color.
Starting from the wide end, carefully roll up each triangle towards the pointed end, forming a crescent shape. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash, to give them a golden color when baked.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the top of the croissants for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed and golden brown.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy your tasty Vegetarian Cheese and 'Ham' Croissants for breakfast or brunch!
