Baked Ham and Cheese Croissants
So so easy to make for a crowd! The mini croissants are toasted and flaky, baked with Dijon-honey, buttery goodness. WHOA.
Is there anything better than crispy, toasted, hot ham + cheese croissants?
Wait, there is. It’s mini crispy, toasted, hot ham + cheese croissants!
And that’s exactly what we have here! It’s the most adorable mini croissant sandwiches, stuffed with smoked deli ham, Swiss cheese, and some bomb Dijon-honey buttery heaven.
I know. It’s a mouthful. Just know that it sure is heavenly.
Then they get toasted to perfectly golden brown, ooey gooey, cheesy goodness.
So perfect for a crowd, game day or an after school snack. Although I did have 4 of these for dinner tonight so it totally works for supper too!

could you bake these and then freeze them?
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. But if you get a chance to try it, please let me know how it turns out! 🙂
Yes they were still great after freezing them!!!
How did you reheat them Libby?
Can these be made the night before??
Yes, Kayla, you can assemble the night before. 🙂
Thank you!
Are the croissants already baked?
Yes. 🙂
Where do you find mini croissants?
Most grocery stores should carry them in the bakery aisle.
These make me so sad I can’t have cheese right now. Ham and cheese criossants are underrated.
These look delicious. I have one question. The recipe calls for 8 mini croissants. In step 3 it says to spread butter mixture on each side of the croissants; fill with ham and cheese to make 12 sandwiches. Can you clarify how to make 12 sandwiches out of 8 croissants please? Thanks! Can’t wait to try these.
Thank you, Kim! This was a typo on our part which has been corrected. 12 mini croissants for 12 sandwiches! 🙂
Do we brush the outside of the croissant with the butter mixture or inside too?
The tops of the croissants are brushed with the egg white mixture. 🙂
Haven’t made them yet, I have a question about the recipe. Recipe calls for 8 mini croissants but serves 12? I am confused.
This was a typo on our end. It has now all been changed to 12 mini croissants for 12 sandwiches! 🙂
Excellent, not sophisticated recipes easy to be performed
