Ingredients
Let’s keep it simple, friends. No need for a thousand ingredients—just a handful of essentials that you might already have in your pantry.
- 4 large croissants
- 8 slices of ham
- 8 slices of Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
If you’re out of Swiss cheese, feel free to swap it out with cheddar or any cheese that makes your heart sing. And if ham isn’t your jam, turkey or even a veggie option like spinach works wonderfully!
Instructions
Now, let’s get to the fun part—the cooking! This is where the magic happens, right in your kitchen.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to catch any melty, cheesy goodness.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter and honey. Add in the Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, stirring until well combined. This will be your honey butter spread.
- Slice each croissant in half horizontally and place them open-faced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread a generous amount of the honey butter mixture on the inside of each croissant half.
- Layer two slices of ham and two slices of Swiss cheese on the bottom halves of each croissant.
- Top with the croissant tops, gently pressing down to hold everything together.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are lightly toasted.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving.
Pro tip from my kitchen to yours: Make sure to keep an eye on those croissants in the oven. The line between perfectly golden and a little too crispy can be thin, just like those mornings when the chaos is one spilled milk away from a meltdown!
