A warm and flaky ham and cheese croissant is an elegant sandwich that can make you feel like you've been transported to a French bistro. With only four ingredients, it is important to make each component the highest quality. This is the time to invest in the best-sliced ham and cheese available at your deli counter, as well as a nice jar of Dijon mustard. If you really want to get fancy, you can even make your own homemade croissants.
If you don't have the time, you can always pick up some fresh croissants at your favorite bakery. It's worth splurging for bakery-made croissants over the ones in bags at the grocery—fresh croissants are wonderfully buttery and flaky, and make this sandwich really shine. Frozen croissants will also work in this recipe.
How to Store Ham and Cheese Croissants
- Assembled and baked ham and cheese croissants are best when served hot and fresh from the oven. They can sit out for a few hours, but they will lose their crisp texture as they sit.
- Leftover ham and cheese croissants can be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator for up to one day. They can then be reheated in a 350 F oven for 5 minutes or in the microwave for 20 seconds.
- Although fresh croissants can last for a few days before consuming, like all fresh bread, they taste better when enjoyed on the same day.
