Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Croissants
- 8 slices Vegetarian Ham Slices
- 100 grams Cheddar Cheese
- 100 grams Provolone Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 50 grams Fresh Spinach Leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Slice the croissants in half horizontally but not all the way through, leaving a hinge.
Spread about half a tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each croissant.
Layer two slices of vegetarian ham on top of the mustard for each croissant.
Grate the cheddar and provolone cheese and mix together in a bowl.
Sprinkle a generous amount of mixed cheeses over the vegetarian ham slices in each croissant.
Add a few fresh spinach leaves on top of the cheese for each croissant.
Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Close the croissants and gently press them down.
Place a baking sheet over a baking tray and arrange the filled croissants on the sheet.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl.
Brush the tops of the croissants with the melted butter to help them crisp up and develop a beautiful golden color.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
