Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the pre-made croissant dough and separate it into triangles as per the package instructions.
Spread each triangle with about half a tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
Place a slice of vegetarian ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on the wide end of each dough triangle.
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the cheese for added flavor, if using.
Carefully roll the dough from the wide end to the narrow point, enclosing the filling.
Transfer the rolled croissants to the prepared baking sheet, curving them slightly into a crescent shape.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the surface of each croissant with the egg wash to promote a golden brown color during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed up and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy your vegetarian Croissant au Jambon warm.
