Ingredients
- 1 package Store-bought croissant dough
- 4 slices Vegetarian ham slices
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 30 grams Baby spinach leaves
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Unroll the store-bought croissant dough on a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles as pre-cut on the package.
Step 3
Place one slice of vegetarian ham and about 25 grams (1/4 of the total) of cheddar cheese on the wider end of each dough triangle.
Step 4
Add a few baby spinach leaves on top of the cheese for added nutrition and color.
Step 5
Starting from the wide end, carefully roll up each triangle towards the pointed end, forming a crescent shape. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash, to give them a golden color when baked.
Step 7
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the top of the croissants for added flavor.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed and golden brown.
Step 9
Allow them to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy your tasty Vegetarian Cheese and 'Ham' Croissants for breakfast or brunch!
