Number Of Ingredients 5

1 recipe Croissant Dough
All-purpose flour for work surface
1 large egg
120 very thin slices French ham, such as Bayonne, cut into 1-by-2-inch pieces
120 very thin slices Comte cheese, cut into 1-by-2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Place dough on a lightly floured work surface; cover and let stand until butter is slightly softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Roll dough out to a 10-by-18-inch rectangle. Cut rectangle in half crosswise. Wrap one half with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator. Place remaining half on a large (about 18-by-25-inch) piece of parchment paper. Roll into a 16-by-20-inch rectangle, stopping to chill dough as necessary if butter becomes too soft; transfer to a large baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Transfer baking sheet to refrigerator and chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Repeat process with remaining piece of dough.
  • Transfer one piece of dough to a lightly floured work surface so that one of the longer sides is facing you. Halve dough to make two 16-by-10-inch rectangles.
  • Using a pizza cutter, trim a scant 1/8 inch from all sides of each rectangle of dough. Working quickly, using pizza cutter to cut each half into 1 1/2-by-3-inch rectangles. You should have about 60 rectangles.
  • Place 1 slice ham in the center of each dough rectangle; top each with a slice of cheese. Starting from one short end and working toward the other, roll to enclose. Brush edges with water and gently press to adhere.
  • In a small bowl, whisk egg together with 1 teaspoon water. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; place rectangles on prepared baking sheets, seam-side down, leaving room for croissants to rise. Brush tops with egg mixture, reserving remaining egg mixture. Place 3 narrow drinking glasses upside-down between each roll of dough; cover well with plastic wrap, making sure plastic does not touch dough. Let stand in a warm place until doubled in size and feel hollow when gently touched, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Uncover and remove glasses from baking sheets; brush croissants lightly with remaining egg mixture (reserving remaining for second piece of dough). Transfer to oven and bake until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat steps 3 through 8 with remaining piece of refrigerated dough.

MINI HAM CROISSANTS

Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Store-bought puff pastry, rolled into 1 (10 by 12-inch) rectangle
2 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup ham, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the 10 by 12-inch rectangle puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface with the short side in front of you and cut it into four 3-inch wide strips from left to right. Next cut each strip into 6 triangles. Arrange the triangles on the work surface with the tips facing you. Gently pull each tip toward you; this light stretch adds layers to the finished croissant without adding density. Place a small amount of chopped ham on the wide side of each triangle, about 1/2-inch from the edge. Use the tips of your fingers to roll the triangle from the base to the tip. Place the croissants seam side down on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Combine egg wash ingredients and brush the tops of the croissants. Bake until well risen and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before serving. All of these puff pastry items are best eaten the day they are made.

HAM AND DIJON CROISSANT SANDWICHES



Ham and Dijon Croissant Sandwiches image

Melt-in-your-mouth baked croissant sandwiches of thinly sliced ham, Swiss cheese, and a delicious buttery Dijon and poppy-seed sauce! Perfect for luncheons or entertaining, or packed into picnic lunches; great served warm, or at room temperature. Use as much ham and cheese as you like! Sandwiches are easily made up in advance and individually wrapped in foil, then refrigerated or frozen (use a freezer bag) for later use. Defrost overnight in the fridge, then bake as directed. Or, if frozen, bake at 300 F for about 1/2 hour until warm. If using mini-rolls, you may place them in a buttered baking dish and bake for the specified amount of time (no need to individually wrap)--I've also microwaved them. Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 1 Croissant

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 croissant
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 ounce ham, sliced
1 slice Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon grated Gruyere

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut a pocket in the croissant. Spread mayonnaise and mustard in pocket. Stuff with ham and cheeses; place on a baking sheet. Bake until cheese melts, 10 to 12 minutes; serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh croissants, quality deli ham, and a flavorful cheese like Swiss or Gruyère.

  • To make the assembly process easier, cut the ham and cheese into thin slices.
  • Be careful not to overfill the croissants. This will make them difficult to fold and seal.
  • Bake the croissants until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
