Ham and Cheese Breakfast Croissants

There is just something about a warm and tender croissant filled with melted cheese and salty ham. The combination of Gruyere and Swiss cheese is perfection! These easy ham and cheese croissants are also topped with butter and parmesan cheese to give them a buttery crisp exterior. Every bite is pure heaven!

The first time I had a ham and cheese croissant at my favorite French bakery I was sold! Savory croissants are a whole new experience, and any time I go to a bakery, it’s the first thing I look for. I can always get my fix at Starbucks because they have a delicious ham and cheese croissant. If you’re looking for more Starbucks copycat recipes, then try these egg bites or my version of their pink drink.
