Learn how to make delicious Breakfast Croissant Melt with Honey Butter. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
4 large croissants, sliced in half
8 slices of deli ham (or turkey for a lighter option)
4 slices of cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional for a hint of herbiness)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. This ensures the croissants become perfectly crisp and the cheese melts evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter and honey until smooth. This honey butter adds a touch of sweetness that reminds me of the indulgent breakfasts my mom used to make on weekends.
Spread the honey butter mixture generously on the cut sides of each croissant.
Layer 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of cheese on the bottom half of each croissant. If you’re feeling adventurous, a sprinkle of fresh thyme will add a refreshing note.
Top with the other half of the croissant and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Place the assembled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper before serving.
