Exquisite Ham and Cheese Croissants Recipe 😍😋

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 slices of ham
• 4 slices of Swiss cheese (or your preferred cheese)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to the temperature recommended on the puff pastry package, or to 375°F (190°C) if using homemade puff pastry.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If it isn’t already rectangular, gently shape it into a rectangle.
3. Cut the Pastry: Divide the puff pastry into four equal squares.
4. Add Ham and Cheese: Diagonally place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each square.
5. Fold and Seal: Fold each square in half diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal the croissants.
6. Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of each croissant with the egg wash to ensure a golden finish.
7. Add Seeds (Optional): Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top of the egg wash, if desired.
8. Prepare for Baking: Arrange the ham and cheese croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Bake: Place the croissants in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
10. Cool and Serve: Remove the croissants from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

These delectable ham and cheese croissants are perfect for a savory snack or a delightful breakfast. Enjoy!
