These easy baked ham and cheese croissants are a beginner-friendly recipe featuring flaky pastry, melty cheese, and savory ham—perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 mini croissants, halved horizontally
  • 1 pound thinly sliced deli ham
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine softened butter, Dijon mustard, green onions, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  3. Slice croissants horizontally to create a pocket, then spread the butter mixture on both inner sides.
  4. Layer ham and cheese inside each croissant and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water. Brush the tops of the croissants with this mixture.
  6. Sprinkle poppy seeds on top if using, then bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • For crispier croissants, leave them unwrapped while baking.
  • To avoid sogginess, place cheese on the bottom before the ham.
  • Wrap leftovers tightly in foil and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Try variations like using smoked Gouda or adding caramelized onions.
