Ingredients
Scale
Croissants and Fillings
- 4 large croissants, sliced
- 8 slices creamy Havarti cheese
- 16 slices deli turkey, roasted or smoked
- 4 teaspoons apricot jelly or jam
- 4 teaspoons honey mustard
- ½ cup microgreens
Toppings and Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons melted garlic butter
- Everything Bagel seasoning, to taste
- Honey drizzle, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the croissant sandwiches.
- Spread condiments: Spread 1 teaspoon of apricot jelly or jam on one half of each sliced croissant and 1 teaspoon of honey mustard on the other half, creating a balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
- Assemble the croissants: Layer 2 slices of creamy Havarti cheese on one half of each croissant and top the other half with 4 slices of roasted or smoked deli turkey. Sprinkle microgreens over the turkey side to add freshness, then close each sandwich carefully.
- Add garlic butter and seasoning: Brush the tops of each assembled croissant sandwich generously with melted garlic butter. Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning over the top to add a savory, aromatic crunch. Drizzle honey lightly on top to enhance the flavor profile with a subtle sweetness.
- Bake the sandwiches: Place the prepared croissants on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until the Havarti cheese has melted and the croissants are warmed through. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- To ensure even melting, slice the croissants evenly and layer the cheese directly on the dough to prevent it from sliding off.
- Use good quality deli turkey for the best flavor; smoked turkey adds a nice depth.
- Adjust the amount of Everything Bagel seasoning and honey drizzle based on your taste preferences to balance savory and sweet.
- This recipe can be doubled or halved easily based on the number of servings needed.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute turkey with roasted vegetables or plant-based deli slices.
