1. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prepare for the croissants.

2. Prepare the Croissants

• Slice each mini croissant in half horizontally.
• On the bottom half of each croissant, place half a slice of cheddar cheese, followed by a slice of deli-cut ham, and then top with another half slice of cheese.
• Place the top half of the croissant over the fillings, making a croissant sandwich.

3. Make the Spread

• In a small bowl, combine:
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Mix until smooth to create the spread.

4. Assemble the Sandwiches

• Spread the butter mixture evenly on the inside of each croissant sandwich. This adds flavor and helps keep the croissants golden and crispy during baking.

5. Arrange in Baking Dish

• Place the assembled croissant sandwiches in the prepared baking dish. Make sure they’re snug but not overcrowded.

6. Egg Wash

• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white with a splash of water.
• Brush the egg wash over the tops of the croissants to give them a beautiful golden-brown finish when baked.
• Sprinkle with poppy seeds for extra flavor and texture.

7. Bake

• Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown and crispy.

8. Serve

• Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
• Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, cheesy deliciousness!
