Ingredients
- 1 batch Croissant dough
- 200 grams Sliced ham
- 100 grams Gruyere cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Roll out the croissant dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 3
Cut the dough into triangles with a base of approximately 6 inches and sides of 8 inches.
Step 4
Place a few slices of ham and a small handful of grated Gruyere cheese at the base of each triangle.
Step 5
Starting at the base, gently roll up the dough, enclosing the ham and cheese. Curve the rolled dough slightly into a crescent shape.
Step 6
Transfer each rolled croissant to the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between each for expansion in the oven.
Step 7
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to make an egg wash and brush it lightly over each croissant.
Step 8
Place a small dab of butter on top of each croissant for extra flavor and shine.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your freshly baked ham croissants!
