Description

This easy and delicious Ham & Cheese Croissants recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or a savory snack. Featuring buttery croissants filled with flavorful ham, Gruyère cheese, and optional chutney and mustard, these croissants are baked until golden and melty, offering a delightful combination of textures and tastes.

Ingredients

Scale

Croissant Filling

  • 2 large croissants
  • 50g thinly sliced or shredded ham
  • 50g Gruyère cheese, thinly sliced or grated, plus extra grated cheese for topping
  • Chutney of your choice (optional)
  • Wholegrain or Dijon mustard, for spreading

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven or Air Fryer: Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/gas mark 6. Alternatively, if using an air fryer, preheat it to 190°C.
  2. Prepare Croissants: Carefully slice the croissants horizontally through the middle, ensuring you do not cut all the way through so that the croissants open like a book. Place them on a baking sheet.
  3. Add Fillings: Spread chutney over the base halves of the croissants if using. Layer the ham evenly over the chutney, then add the sliced or grated Gruyère cheese on top of the ham.
  4. Close and Season: Close the croissants gently and spread a little wholegrain or Dijon mustard over the tops. Sprinkle extra grated cheese on the tops along with some freshly ground black pepper if desired.
  5. Bake: Place the croissants in the oven or air fryer and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese on top has melted and started to brown slightly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from heat and allow the croissants to cool for 1 to 2 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can customize the chutney to your favorite type, such as mango, spicy tomato, or apple chutney.
  • For a stronger cheese flavor, add an extra sprinkle of Gruyère inside as well as on top.
  • Be careful not to slice the croissant all the way through to keep the filling contained.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the ham with roasted vegetables or sautéed mushrooms.
  • The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven or air fryer model.
