- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the croissant dough on a lightly floured surface and separate it into triangles.
Place one slice of vegetarian ham on the wide end of each triangle.
Layer a slice of Swiss cheese over the vegetarian ham.
Add a few spinach leaves and one or two thin slices of tomato on top of the cheese.
Roll the triangle from the wide end toward the narrow tip to form a croissant shape.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash.
Brush each croissant with the egg wash to ensure they bake to a golden brown.
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
