Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 12 croissants halved horizontally
  • 1 pound thinly sliced smoked deli ham
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese diagonally sliced
  • 1 large egg white
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9 x 13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine butter, Dijon, green onions and honey; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Spread butter mixture on each side of the croissants; fill with ham and cheese to make 12 sandwiches.
  4. Place croissants in a single layer onto the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together egg white and 1 tablespoon water. Brush tops of croissants with egg white mixture; sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  6. Place into oven and bake until golden brown and toasted, about 15-18 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.
  7. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For best results, serve the croissants warm. You can prepare the butter mixture and assemble sandwiches a few hours ahead and refrigerate before baking. Substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyere for a different flavor twist.
