Are you looking for a quick and delicious breakfast option that will satisfy your cravings?
Look no further! Today, I’m sharing a recipe for mouthwatering Baked Ham and Cheese Croissants that are easy and simple to make.
I’m obsessed with the ones from Starbucks, but why spend extra money when you can recreate these scrumptious treats at home? Honestly, I’m already spending all that on the drinks anyway, so it’s great to have a way to satisfy my craving for a ham and cheese croissant without breaking the bank. The key to making these baked ham and cheese croissants is using premade croissant dough. I am no expert baker, so using store-bought croissant dough is convenient and time-saving.
I like to bulk-make these baked ham and cheese croissants so I can enjoy them throughout the week for a quick breakfast or snack. Our lives are all busy for many reasons, and having a batch of these delicious croissants ready to go can make mornings a little bit easier, even on the go.
Here are the ingredients needed for this recipe:
- Store Brought Croissant Dough (1 can)
- Sliced Ham (about 6-8 slices)
- Cheese of your choice (I prefer Swiss or cheddar)
- 1 egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)
Now, let’s get started with the simple steps to make these scrumptious baked ham and cheese croissants:
- Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the croissant dough package.
- Unroll the croissant dough and separate the triangles.
- Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each triangle of dough.
- Roll up each triangle, starting from the wider end and tucking in the sides as you go.
- Place the rolled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space in between each one. 6. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the croissants with beaten egg for a golden finish (optional).
- Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the croissants cool slightly before serving.
Now, you can enjoy your homemade baked ham and cheese croissants! Try to finish them fresh, as they taste the best when warm and flaky. But I enjoy them just as much when reheated the next day. They should keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
I hope this saves you time and money while satisfying your craving for a delicious ham and cheese croissant.
Happy Eating!
