Ham & Swiss Croissant Melt

Cheese Type: Cheese Type: Delicatezza Cooked Ham, Delicatezza Swiss

A buttery, flaky croissant melt that balances sweet and savory in every bite.

Ingredients

4 butter croissants, sliced in half
8 ounces Delicatezza Cooked Ham, thinly sliced
4 ounces Delicatezza Swiss cheese, sliced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon honey
Optional: arugula or baby spinach for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Spread Dijon mustard on the inside of each croissant.
Layer Delicatezza Cooked Ham and Delicatezza Swiss evenly into each croissant.
Lightly spread butter on the tops of the croissants and drizzle with a touch of honey for a sweet-savory finish.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until croissants are warm, lightly crisp, and the cheese is melted.
Serve warm as is, or with fresh arugula on the side.

Cheesemonger Tip

Delicatezza Cooked Ham is ideal for deli sandwiches thanks to its tender texture, natural savory flavor, and juicy bite, pairing especially well with Swiss, Muenster, or mild cheddar cheeses.
