Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup ½ stick unsalted butter, melted (can use salted butter)
  • 2 Tablespoons honey for sweetness
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar adds sweetness and depth
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard for a tangy flavor
  • ½ teaspoon salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper for seasoning
  • 4 croissants cut in half lengthwise (use fresh, flaky croissants)
  • 8 slices ham preferably thinly sliced
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese or other preferred cheese
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a baking sheet or a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Place the bottom halves of the croissants in the prepared baking dish. Top each with two slices of ham and two slices of cheese, then place the croissant tops on top.
  4. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the melted butter mixture over the tops of the croissants. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture to use later.
  5. Bake the croissants uncovered in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and baste the croissants with the reserved butter mixture. If desired, sprinkle with poppy seeds.
