Mini Ham & Cheese Croissant Sandwiches
Flaky croissants filled with savory ham and melty cheese, brushed with garlic butter, and baked golden brown—what’s not to love about these mini ham & cheese croissant sandwiches?
Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- parchment paper
- 1 small bowl
- 1 spoon
Ingredients
- 8 mini croissants store bought from grocery store bakery section
- 2 T mayonnaise
- 2 T dijion mustard
- ½ lb deli ham sliced thin
- 4 slices swiss cheese sliced diagonally into triangles
- 2 T butter
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet or small casserole dish with parchment paper. This will make for an easy cleanup.
- Slice 8 mini croissants in half horizontally. Note: I buy premade ones, but if you like to make them from scratch, go for it! For refrigerated dough, I think the best croissants in a can are either Trader Joe’s Organic Crescent Rolls or Immaculate Baking’s Croissants because both have a nice, buttery flavor, good flakiness, and are made with cleaner ingredients.
- In a small bowl, combine 2T of mayo and 2T of dijion mustard. Spread mixture of mayo- mustard evenly on the under side of the top half of the croissant.
- Cut swiss cheese slices diagonally to make smaller triangles. Layer a couple of slices of deli ham and a triangle slice of swiss cheese on bottom half of each croissant. Close each sandwich.
- Melt 2 Tbsp butter, then whisk in 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Use a pastry brush or spoon to brush garlic butter over tops of croissants.
- Bake for 8 minutes, or until croissants are golden crisp and cheese is melty. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs (optional)and serve warm.
Notes
Leftover Storage:
Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days, in an airtight container to keep sandwiches fresh.
To reheat, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Check, and if not quite heated through, continue heating in 10 second increments only to prevent sogginess.
Serve sandwiches with these fun sides:
-
- Fruit platter
-
- Warm soup like Tortellini Soup or Cheesy Chicken Noodle
-
- Pickles
-
- Chips or Pretzels with Dip
-
- Raw veggies and Curry Dip
