Ingredients
Scale
- 4 croissants
- 4 slices of turkey or chicken deli meat
- 4 slices of cheese (Swiss or cheddar works)
- 1 tbsp mustard (optional)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for even baking. - Prepare the Croissants
Slice each croissant in half horizontally, taking care not to cut all the way through. This will create a pocket for your fillings. - Add Mustard (Optional)
If you like a bit of a tangy kick, spread a thin layer of mustard inside each croissant. - Fill the Croissants
Place one slice of turkey or chicken deli meat and one slice of cheese inside each croissant. Make sure the fillings are evenly distributed for the best flavor in every bite. - Arrange on Baking Sheet
Close the filled croissants and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking. - Apply Egg Wash
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of each croissant. This step will give your croissants a beautiful, golden-brown finish. - Bake to Perfection
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The croissants are ready when they are golden and the cheese is bubbly. - Garnish and Serve
Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or chives over the croissants for a burst of freshness and color. Serve warm and enjoy!
