Ingredients
For the Sandwiches:
- 4 large buttery croissants (fresh or lightly toasted)
- 8 slices deli ham (or leftover baked ham, thinly sliced)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese (or Gruyère for extra nuttiness)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for toasting, optional)
For Garnish / Serving:

Instructions
- Prep the Croissants Slice croissants horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom halves on a clean surface or baking sheet.
- Add Condiments (Optional) Spread Dijon mustard or mayonnaise on the inside of each croissant half, depending on your flavor preference.
- Layer Ham and Cheese Place 2 slices of ham on each croissant bottom. Add a slice of Swiss cheese over the ham.
- Toast the Sandwich Option 1: Skillet Method Heat a skillet over medium-low. Add a touch of butter. Place sandwiches in the skillet, press gently with a spatula, and cover with a lid until the cheese melts (~3–4 minutes). Flip carefully to toast the top if desired. Option 2: Oven Method Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and heat for 8–10 minutes until cheese melts and croissants are warm.
- Serve Remove from heat, close the sandwiches with the croissant tops, and serve immediately.
