Ingredients

• 6 large croissants – buttery, flaky, and sturdy
• 12 thin slices deli ham (honey-baked, Black Forest, or smoked)
• 12 slices Swiss cheese (or Gruyère, Havarti, or cheddar)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• ½ tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease.
2. Slice croissants horizontally and place the bottom halves snugly in the baking dish.
3. Layer each croissant with 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Add tops and press gently.
4. Whisk melted butter, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
5. Brush glaze generously over croissants and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if using.
6. Bake for 15–17 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is fully melted. Cover loosely with foil if browning too fast.
7. Cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.

Notes

• Browning too fast: Tent loosely with foil.
• Cheese overflow: Keep slices centered on croissants.
• Soggy croissants: Use fresh croissants and bake until crisp.
