Twice-Baked Ham and Gruyère Croissants

Gruyère and our Bourbon Blended Mustard are a match made in heaven. The nutty cheese pairs perfectly with the sweet molasses flavor of bourbon and the unmistakable tang of good mustard, all on a fluffy croissant. Consider this masterpiece your grown-up ham and cheese sandwich.

Active Time: 10 Min.

Total Time: 40 Min.

Servings: 6

Ingredients

1 Tbsp unsalted butter, for greasing pan    For the bourbon mustard sauce: 1 cup mayonnaise ¼ cup Plochman’s Bourbon Mustard  1 garlic clove, grated   For the sandwich: 6 croissants  1 lb deli sliced ham 10 oz Gruyère, grated and divided (1 ¼ cup)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease a 9x13” pan with butter. Set aside.
  2. To make the bourbon mustard sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, and garlic; mix with a spatula until well combined. Set the mustard sauce aside.
  3. To build the sandwiches: Lay the croissants on a cutting board and, using a serrated knife, slice them in half to separate the tops and bottoms.
  4. Spread the mustard sauce on the cut sides of the croissants. Place the bottom half of the croissants in the prepared pan. Layer 2 slices of ham on each croissant. Sprinkle 1 cup of the Gruyère over all the ham-covered croissants.
  5. Add the tops of the croissants, then use the back of a spatula to press and flatten them down. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining ¼ cup of cheese.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Cover with aluminum foil if the croissants start to brown too fast.
Kick It Up a Notch: For a holiday twist, substitute with turkey and Plochman’s Cranberry Mustard. Or, use corned beef, pickles and Plochman’s Cuban Style Mustard to make it a Cubano melt! Recipe source: Ingredient
