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 Seasoning
- 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 croissants.
- Prepare the Croissant Halves: 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 sweet and tangy base.
- Assemble the Filling: On the half with jelly, place 2 slices of Havarti cheese. On the other half, add 4 slices of deli turkey and sprinkle the microgreens over the turkey for a fresh crunch. Close each croissant sandwich carefully.
- Add Garlic Butter and Seasoning: Brush the tops of each assembled croissant sandwich with melted garlic butter. Then sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning for added flavor and texture. Finish by drizzling honey over the tops for a subtle sweetness.
- Bake the Croissants: Arrange the croissants on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the croissants are warmed through. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute Havarti cheese with Swiss or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer, replace apricot jelly with fig jam or another fruit preserve.
- To make the recipe quicker, assemble the croissants in advance and bake just before serving.
- Everything Bagel seasoning can be found in most grocery stores or made at home with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic flakes, and salt.
- Use roasted turkey for a mild flavor or smoked turkey for a smoky twist.
