Description

These savory baked cheese croissants are flaky, buttery, and filled with melted cheese. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a warm snack straight from the oven, they combine simple ingredients into a delicious and easy-to-make pastry.

Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated croissant dough
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Optional Add-Ins

  • Chopped herbs (such as parsley or chives)
  • Cooked ham, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the croissants evenly.
  2. Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated croissant dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
  3. Add cheese and optional fillings: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese over each croissant triangle. If desired, add chopped herbs or cooked ham atop the cheese for additional flavor and texture.
  4. Roll the croissants: Starting from the wide end, roll each crescent-shaped triangle toward the pointed tip, enclosing the fillings inside.
  5. Arrange on baking sheet: Place the rolled croissants onto a baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow room for expansion during baking.
  6. Brush with butter and season: Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of all croissants with the melted butter to enhance browning and flavor. Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over the croissants for a savory touch.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed up and golden brown.
  8. Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Best served warm to enjoy the melted cheese and flaky texture.
  • Try mixing different types of cheese for extra depth of flavor.
  • Optional fillings like cooked ham or fresh herbs can customize the flavor profile.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently in the oven to preserve crispiness.
