Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croissants

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating, take the croissants and slice them in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Add the Mustard

    Spread Dijon mustard evenly on the inside of each croissant half.

  3. 3

    Layer the Ham and Cheese

    On the bottom half of each croissant, place 2 slices of ham followed by a slice of cheese.

  4. 4

    Season to Taste

    Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the cheese, if desired.

  5. 5

    Close and Prepare for Baking

    Top each with the other half of the croissant to close it. Place the filled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Butter the Croissants

    Melt the butter in a small saucepan and brush it generously over the top of each croissant.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  8. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. If using, sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving.
