Golden Ham & Cheese Croissants

These baked ham and cheese croissants are one of those recipes that disappear almost as fast as they come out of the oven. Buttery, flaky layers wrapped around warm melted cheese and savory ham make them perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even an easy weeknight dinner.

The simple honey-Dijon glaze brushed over the top takes them to another level — golden, glossy, slightly sweet, and impossible to resist straight from the pan.
