- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Arugula
- 1 medium Tomato
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice each croissant horizontally in half to open them up for the filling.
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the inside of each half of the croissants.
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each croissant.
Place two slices of vegan or vegetarian ham on top of the mustard on each croissant.
Add two slices of vegan or vegetarian cheese on top of the ham.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and place 2-3 slices on top of the cheese on each croissant.
Season the tomato slices with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place a small handful of arugula on the tomatoes for added freshness.
Cover with the top half of the croissant, gently pressing down.
Place the assembled croissants on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted and the croissants are lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm.
