01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Unroll the crescent dough and carefully separate the individual rolls along the perforations. Place a generous piece of ham (about 1/2 inch) and a tablespoon of Gruyere cheese in the center of each triangle. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Fold over the two longer sides of the triangle, overlapping them to create a sealed pocket for the ham and cheese. Ensure the edges are well-sealed to prevent any filling from escaping during baking. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Arrange the filled crescents on a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each. This allows for even baking and proper browning. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven until the croissants are a beautiful golden brown, approximately 12 to 14 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. (14 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Once baked, remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. This will help maintain their crispiness. (30 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
To freeze, wrap each croissant individually in wax paper to prevent sticking. Place the wrapped croissants in a large, resealable freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. (10 minutes)
For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a smear of Dijon mustard or a sprinkle of fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) to the croissants before baking.
If you don't have Gruyere cheese on hand, Swiss or Jarlsberg cheese make excellent substitutes.
To reheat frozen croissants, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. Then, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, microwave on medium-low power (40% power) for approximately 45 seconds, but be aware that microwaving may affect the texture.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the ham with sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables.
