- 100 grams Gruyère cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out gently to remove any creases.
Step 3
Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares.

Step 5
Place one slice of vegetarian ham and approximately 25 grams of Gruyère cheese on top of the mustard in each square.
Step 6
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the cheese.
Step 7
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner. Press the edges together to seal them, then crimp with a fork.
Step 8
Beat the egg with the tablespoon of milk in a small bowl to make the egg wash.
Step 9
Brush the top of each formed triangle with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
Step 10
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, carefully transfer the croissants onto it.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for the best taste.
