These mini ham and cheese croissants are so easy and elegant to make for a crowd! Takes minutes to put together, perfect for brunch or lunch!
Is there anything better than crispy, toasted, hot ham + cheese croissants?
And that’s exactly what we have here! It’s the most adorable mini 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!

Can you tell me how many slices of ham and cheese you put on each mini croissant? I’m planning on making a bunch of these and would rather buy by slice rather than pound to make sure I purchase just enough of both. Thanks!
Catherine, I would estimate 1 slice ham and 1/2 slice Swiss cheese per croissant, but you can really use as little or as much as you would like.
Delicious. I didn’t have green onions or poppy seeds, but still a wonderful recipe without them.
Just made your homemade macaroni and cheese recipe! It was the one you put in the individual serving bowls but I used a full pan. It tastes so good before I even have it finished! This is definitely my go to Mac and Cheese recipe from now on!!
Hi again! I know there are 12 mini croissants used, but how many people do you think this would serve? I’m planning a get-together with 9 people. Wondering if this would be enough if I have other appetizers along with it.
Thanks!

Hi Kayla! It really depends on how many you want to serve. If you want your guests to have more than one serving, I would double the recipe. Hope that helps!
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
