Indulge in the delightful combination of flaky croissants filled with savory beef ham and melted cheese. This easy recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 mini Croissants
  • 4 slices smoked Cheddar cheese (or regular Cheddar), halved
  • ¾ pound beef deli meat
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 large egg white
  • Poppy seeds, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. This takes about 5 minutes.
  2. Halve Croissants: Cut each croissant horizontally in half. Make sure the cuts are even so the filling can be well distributed. This should take about 5 minutes.
  3. Prepare Filling: Place half a slice of Cheddar on the bottom half of each croissant, followed by a slice of beef and then another half slice of cheese. This step takes about 5 minutes.
  4. Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, yellow mustard, honey, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. This should take about 2 minutes.
  5. Brush Croissants: Evenly spread the butter mixture on the inside of each croissant sandwich. Be careful not to waste the mixture! This should take about 3 minutes.
  6. Place Croissants in Baking Dish: Arrange the filled croissants in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are close together but not overlapping. This step takes about 2 minutes.
  7. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg white with a splash of water until pale. This takes about 1 minute.
  8. Brush Croissants: Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash mixture and sprinkle with poppy seeds. This should take about 3 minutes.
  9. Bake: Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown. The croissants are done when they are crispy and golden.
  10. Serve: Remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm. This takes about 5 minutes.
