Ham and Cheese Croissant Sandwiches layer honey mustard, deli ham, and two slices of Swiss inside flaky croissants, then finish each top with garlic-Italian butter. A short oven bake warms the ham, melts the cheese, and crisps the delicate pastry.
The recipe makes exactly six sandwiches. Preparation takes 10 minutes, cooking takes 15 minutes, and the listed total is 25 minutes. Bake at 375°F for 12–14 minutes, then cool for only 1–2 minutes before serving.
Ham and Cheese Croissant Ingredients
For the sandwiches, prepare exactly 6 regular croissants, 12 oz sliced deli ham, exactly 12 slices Swiss cheese, and ½ cup honey mustard sauce.
The aromatic topping combines 2 tablespoons melted butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning. These measured amounts season all six pastries without masking the ham, Swiss, and honey mustard.
