    πŸ“• What's this ham and cheese croissant?

    This ham cheese croissant is basically a French croissant filled with ham and cheese slices.

    It's a quick, delicious and convenient way to create a baked hot croissant sandwich.

    I love to make this croissant breakfast bake on a lazy day for brunch because they come together without much effort.

    Ham and Cheese Croissant

    πŸ”ͺ How to make it?

    To prepare these oven-baked sandwiches follow these straightforward steps.

    Step 1

    Grab a fresh French croissant and cut it open lengthwise.

    Take a slice of cheese and fold a large slice of ham over the cheese slice.

    Step 2

    Stuff the croissant with the ham and cheese slice so that it's all in the croissant.

    Step 3

    Bake a few minutes until you see the cheese melting out of your ham and cheese croissant bake.

    πŸ’‘ Tips

    The Croissant

    Buttery flakey French style croissant is your best option, even if they are stuffed with calories.

    I love love love when the croissant is a real deal croissant and not some poor substitute knockoff of a croissant.

    You can use a large or smaller croissant size, that's up to you but know that it's easier to stuff a larger croissant with the ham and cheese.

    The Cheese

    I think the best cheese for ham and cheese croissant is a Swiss cheese such as Emmenthaler or a slice of gruyere cheese.

    However, feel free to use any other cheese made of real cow milk such as cheddar.

    Swiss Cheese is superior in many ways and this is something you need to try out for yourself to understand what I mean.

    The Ham

    I use quality pink, thin cut slices of ham and I those tend to be larger in size so I wrap the ham over the cheese.

    That way the cheese is kind of locked in the ham and doesn't spill out that easily when baked.

    The best part is when you can bite into your ham and cheese croissant sandwich and the cheese starts to ooze out.

    You can use Italian Prosciutto ham too if you like in this croissant breakfast sandwich.
