Ingredients
Scale
- 8 mini croissants
- 4 slices smoked cheddar cheese (halved)
- ¾ pound deli-cut ham
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ to 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large egg white
- Poppy seeds (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Slice each mini croissant in half horizontally, laying the bottom half in the baking dish.
- Place a half slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom of each croissant.
- Add a slice of ham, then top with another half slice of cheese before closing the croissant with its top half.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, yellow mustard, honey, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
- Spread this buttery mixture evenly inside each croissant sandwich.
- Arrange the assembled croissant sandwiches snugly in the greased baking dish.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg white with a splash of water; brush this egg wash over the tops. Sprinkle poppy seeds on top for a touch of crunch.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and serve warm.
Notes
These croissants are best served warm. Consider adding a drizzle of honey mustard or spicy aioli for extra flavor.
