Ingredients
For the Croissants:
-
4 large buttery croissants (store-bought or bakery fresh)
-
4 slices deli turkey
-
4 slices deli ham
-
4 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese
-
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
-
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
For the Butter Glaze (Optional but Delicious):
-
2 tablespoons melted butter
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon dried parsley
-
½ teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or mayo on the inside of each half (if using).
Layer one slice of turkey, one slice of ham, and one slice of cheese inside each croissant. Close gently.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, parsley, and poppy seeds.
Brush the tops of the croissants with the glaze for extra flavor and color.
Place croissants on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are golden and crisp.
Let cool slightly and serve warm. Pair with a simple salad, fruit, or chips for a quick and satisfying meal.
