Make these flaky, buttery baked ham and cheese croissants for a satisfying breakfast, brunch, or quick lunch. This easy recipe uses store-bought dough for minimal effort and delivers gooey, melted cheese every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 slices deli ham
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese or Gruyère
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles. Do not separate the perforations.
  3. On the wide end of each triangle, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard, if using.
  4. Place one slice of ham and one slice of cheese on top of the mustard layer.
  5. Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up toward the point. Gently curve the ends to form a crescent shape.
  6. Place the rolled croissants seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and 1 teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the croissants lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed, golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, substitute Gruyère cheese for Swiss or use a mix of cheddar and provolone.
  • If you prefer a sweeter glaze, mix 1 tablespoon of honey into the Dijon mustard before brushing it on the dough.
  • You can assemble these croissants ahead of time. Place them on the baking sheet, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before baking. Add 2-3 minutes to the bake time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
