Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Store-bought puff pastry
- 4 slices Vegetarian ham slices
- 100 grams Gruyère cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out gently to remove any creases.
Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares.
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard in the center of each square.
Place one slice of vegetarian ham and approximately 25 grams of Gruyère cheese on top of the mustard in each square.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the cheese.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner. Press the edges together to seal them, then crimp with a fork.
Beat the egg with the tablespoon of milk in a small bowl to make the egg wash.
Brush the top of each formed triangle with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, carefully transfer the croissants onto it.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for the best taste.
