Ingredients for Cheese & Ham Breakfast Croissants
The very first ingredient is Puff pastry. You can make the puff pastry in your home or you can choose the store bought frozen puff pastries. If you are using the frozen puff pastry, then make sure to thaw it before using. The puff pastry will create a buttery and flaky foundation for our croissants. It forms a light and airy texture when baking.
The choice of cheese plays an important role in creating the texture. In this recipe, we will be using Swiss cheese, with its nutty and slightly sweet taste. It adds a level of richness in the dish. The cheese slices are layered within the puff pastry, makes it a gooey and creamy filling. You can adjust the number of cheese according to your preference.
Next is our Ham slices, which adds a savory and salty taste in the dish. You can add smokes or cured ham. Make sure to evenly distribute the cheese layer. This combination creates a beautiful blend of flavors, making each bite a satisfying experience.
The last one in the list is beaten egg, which will add a golden color and a glossy finishing to the exterior of the croissants. Brushing the croissants before baking creates a beautiful golden crust, elevating both the appearence and texture of the breakfast treats. This step enhances the visual appeal of the dish.
How to Make Cheese & Ham Breakfast Croissants
Firstly, begin by preheating your oven to 375℉ or as indicated in the instructions on the puff pastry packaging. Make sure the oven is ready before baking.
Next, take a thawed puff pastry sheet and roll it out. On this sheet, create a layer by evenly placing slices of cheese on top of the layer of ham slices. Once this is done, carefully put the second puff pastry sheet over the toppings. Press it gently to make sure it is done properly.
Now start by cutting the pastry sheets, now filled with the combination of cheese and ham, into triangular shapes. These triangles will eventually form the classic croissant shape.
Now take each one and roll it into the croissant shape. This step adds the characteristic flakiness and layers to your breakfast pastries.
Then to give your croissants a beautiful golden color, brush them with a beaten egg before placing them in the preheated oven. Bake the croissants for approximately 25 minutes, or according to the instructions on the puff pastry packaging. This ensures that they are cooked to perfection.
Once golden brown and irresistibly aromatic, remove the croissants from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. I would recommend pairing these cheesy ham croissants with a side of Healthy Hot Cocoa for a comforting and indulgent breakfast experience. Serve them hot and savor the delicious combination of flavors.
