Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croissants

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice the croissants in half horizontally without cutting all the way through.

  2. 2

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread a little butter on the inside of each croissant. Layer the grandfather ham evenly on the bottom half of each croissant. Add a generous amount of aged cheddar cheese on top of the ham.

  3. 3

    Season and Add Mustard

    Sprinkle black pepper over the cheese for added flavor. If desired, spread a thin layer of mustard on the top half of the croissant.

  4. 4

    Toast the Croissants

    Close the croissants and place them on a baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm.
