Buttery Ham and Cheese Croissant Savory Breakfast Treat

This buttery ham and cheese croissant brings joy to breakfast. It is easy to make and tastes amazing. First, gather your ingredients. You need croissants, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, and some butter. These ingredients blend well together.

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step keeps the croissants from sticking. While the oven heats, mix the butter with Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, and black pepper. This mixture adds flavor and richness.

Now, slice each croissant in half. Spread a good amount of the butter mixture inside each half. This part is key for a tasty filling. Then, add two slices of smoked ham and two slices of Swiss cheese on the bottom half. If you like, sprinkle fresh chives for extra taste.

Press the top half of the croissant back on gently. Place the croissants seam side down on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the leftover butter mixture. This helps them turn golden brown in the oven.

Bake the croissants for 15 to 20 minutes. You want them to be golden and the cheese to be melty. Once they are ready, let them cool for a few minutes. This makes it easier to handle them.

Serve these croissants warm. They go great with a side of mixed greens and a small bowl of Dijon for dipping. This recipe is a fun and tasty way to enjoy breakfast.
