With buttery layers of croissant dough enveloping rich ham and melty cheese, this dish offers a warm, indulgent experience that transports you straight to a Parisian café. Whether you’re hosting a get-together or craving something comforting, this recipe is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

Ingredients:

4 fresh croissants (preferably from the day before to make filling easier)
200g ham (thinly sliced)
150g Gruyere cheese (or your favourite cheese, grated)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional for extra flavour)
1 tbsp butter (for brushing)
Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary) for topping (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures that the croissants are warm and ready to bake perfectly.

Prepare the croissants: Cut each croissant in half horizontally, making sure not to cut all the way through. You want to create a pocket for the filling.

Add the mustard (optional): If you like a little heat, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the inside of each croissant half.

Fill the croissants: Layer each croissant with slices of ham and a generous handful of grated Gruyere cheese. Be sure to pack the filling in tightly so that each bite is packed with flavor.

Butter brush: Lightly melt the butter and brush the tops of each croissant with it to ensure they bake until they are perfectly golden and crispy.

Bake: Place the croissants on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the croissants are golden, the cheese is melted, and the ham is slightly crispy.
