Enjoy a perfect blend of flaky buttery croissant dough wrapped around savory ham and melted Swiss or Gruyere cheese, topped with a luscious sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze. This Ham and Cheese Croissant with Honey Mustard Glaze is ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a satisfying snack, bringing together rich creaminess, smoky depth, and a delightful glaze for an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Croissant Base

  • Flaky Croissant Dough (store-bought or homemade, enough for 4 croissants)
  • Butter (for brushing, about 2 tablespoons, melted)

Filling

  • Savory Ham Slices (thinly sliced, about 4–6 slices)
  • Melted Cheese (Swiss or Gruyere, 4 slices)

Honey Mustard Glaze

  • Honey (2 tablespoons)
  • Mustard (2 tablespoons, preferably Dijon or whole grain)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Lay out the croissant dough, ham slices, and cheese on a clean surface. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix honey and mustard in a small bowl to create the glaze and set aside.
  2. Assemble the Croissants: Unroll or gently flatten each croissant dough triangle. Place a layer of ham and a slice of cheese on the wide end of each piece. Carefully roll the dough over the filling, sealing the edges well to prevent the cheese from leaking out while baking.
  3. Glaze and Bake: Place the filled croissants on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter, then generously brush the honey mustard glaze over each croissant. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  4. Serve Warm: Remove the croissants from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm to enjoy the melty cheese and sweet-tangy glaze at their best.

Notes

  • Use fresh or day-old croissant dough for the best flakiness; avoid frozen unless labeled for baking.
  • Do not overfill with ham or cheese to keep the croissants neat and avoid spillage.
  • Adjust the honey-to-mustard ratio for glaze thickness and caramelization preferences.
  • Optionally, brush croissants with beaten egg before applying the glaze for extra shine.
  • Serve immediately after baking for the best melty and flaky experience.
