Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large croissants: Buttery and flaky the perfect foundation for your fillings.
  • 8 slices deli ham: Choose high-quality thinly sliced ham for the best flavor.
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese: Mild nutty, and perfectly melty.
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted: Adds richness and helps achieve that golden, crispy finish.
  • 1 tbsp honey: Balances the savory flavors with a touch of sweetness.
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard: Provides a tangy kick to the glaze.
  • 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning: A savory crunchy topping that elevates each bite.

Method
 

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Assemble the Croissants: Slice the croissants in half lengthwise. On the bottom half of each croissant, layer 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Place the top halves back on.
  3. Make the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Brush this glaze generously over the tops of the croissants.
  4. Add the Topping: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning evenly across the glazed croissants for a savory, textured finish.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If they brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the croissants to cool for a few minutes before serving. This lets the cheese set slightly and prevents burns from the hot filling. Enjoy them warm for the best experience!

Notes

  • For the best flavor and texture, use high-quality ingredients like bakery croissants, good deli ham, and Swiss cheese.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like Gruyere, cheddar, Havarti, etc.
  • Make ahead: Assemble the croissants, cover and refrigerate. Brush with butter mixture and bake when ready to serve.
