Steps to Prepare Delicious and Quick Ham and Cheese Croissants

As you have seen, this ham croissant is going to be made with simple and accessible ingredients. Note that puff pastry dough has a different production process than other doughs, and if you want to make it at home, it requires preparation the day before and more time. We recommend using ready-made puff pastry to make this dish faster.

Step 1: Prepare the Filling
To make the ham croissant, start by preparing the filling. Before that, leave the puff pastry dough out at room temperature to soften. Take a few slices of ham and dice them with a knife. Alternatively, you can keep the ham slices whole or halved according to your preference for inside the croissant. Also, take one bell pepper and dice it. In a bowl, mix the ham, bell pepper, and corn together.

Step 2: Roll the Ham Croissants
Place the puff pastry dough on the table and cut it into long isosceles triangles. Be sure to place the filling at the base of each triangle. Put half a slice of processed cheese at the base of the triangle; you can also use shredded mozzarella cheese.

Then, spoon one or two tablespoons of the prepared filling over the cheese, and starting from the base of the triangle, roll and wrap the puff pastry dough toward the tip of the triangle to seal the croissant. Prepare the rest of the croissants the same way.

Step 3: Bake the Ham Croissants
You can bake the ham croissants in the oven or toaster oven. Place the croissants on a baking tray and put it in the oven. Bake the ham croissants at 180°C (356°F) for 20 minutes. This way, your ham croissants will be ready in less than an hour. If you want to prepare these as finger food, simply cut the puff pastry into smaller triangles and make them smaller.

Enjoy your meal!
