- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Sandwich Fillings
- 8 slices deli turkey
- 4 slices Havarti cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the minced garlic and finely chopped fresh parsley. Mix well to infuse the flavors.
- Slice Croissants: Carefully slice each croissant horizontally in half, creating a top and bottom layer for the sandwich.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Layer 2 slices of deli turkey and 1 slice of Havarti cheese inside each croissant. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the taste.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Apply Garlic Butter: Brush the tops of each croissant generously with the garlic and parsley butter mixture to ensure a flavorful, golden crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the croissants turn crispy and golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a thin layer of Dijon mustard or cranberry sauce inside the croissant before adding the turkey.
- These sandwiches can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a quick and satisfying meal.
