Baked Ham and Cheese Croissants are stuffed with ham, melted Swiss, pesto, and a buttery glaze brushed on top; easy for holiday entertaining.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp poppy seeds
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 12 oz mini croissants, 16 mini croissants from Trader Joe’s
- ½ cup pesto
- 14 oz deli black forest ham
- 8 slices Swiss cheese or gruyere, torn or cut in half
- 2 green onion, finely diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, add butter, brown sugar, honey, dijon, poppy seeds, and garlic powder. Microwave for 30 seconds until the butter is mostly melted, and whisk until smooth.
- Cut the croissants in half horizontally, and place the bottom half of each croissant on a baking sheet. Top each croissant with half a slice of cheese and ham. To the top half of the croissant, spread lightly with pesto.
- After all 16 are assembled, use a pastry brush to brush the butter mix all over the top of the croissants.
- Bake for 15-17 mins until the croissants are golden and toasted. The cheese will be nice and melty!
- Assemble the ham sandwiches on a platter and sprinkle lightly with finely chopped green onions.
- Serve.
