French Grilled Ham & Cheese

Essential Everyday

4 large croissants, cut in half

¼ cup chive and onion cream cheese spread

4 teaspoons spicy brown mustard

12 ounces thinly sliced smoked ham

4 slices Colby Jack cheese

3 large eggs, beaten

½ cup half & half

-      Salt and pepper

-      Butter

They were so pretty. I wanted a picture before I maimed them.


Spread bottoms of croissants with cream cheese and mustard. Top with ham, cheese and tops of croissants. Set aside.

A 12-ounce container of smoked ham was perfectly adequate to fill the sandwiches. I think 16 ounces would have been excessive.


In shallow dish, combine eggs and half & half; salt and pepper to taste. Dip each side of sandwiches in egg to coat croissants.

In a flat skillet over medium heat, melt enough butter to coat pan. Place sandwiches on skillet; cook until golden brown on both sides and cheese is melted (about 2-3 minutes per side).

Bubbling after their nice bath.

It got a little crispy but that's ok. Served with some veggie straws.

My Rating: 4/5 "These are definitely comfort food. The cream cheese on the bottom accents the slice of cheese on the top and then the whole thing is cuddled in a delightful way by the croissant. I wish it didn't have to get all singed on the top and bottom, but there's really no other way to melt the cheese. Anyway, this is a treat!"
