Ham Croissant with Mornay Sauce
If you have leftover croissants that are a bit stale, or if your baker sells day-old croissants, this is a great way to avoid waste and enjoy a delicious meal. Mornay sauce is a béchamel sauce with egg yolk and Swiss cheese.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the Mornay sauce: Prepare a béchamel by melting the butter in a saucepan, then add the flour. Stir and cook for a few minutes without letting it brown, then set aside until completely cooled. Heat the milk and pour it over the flour mixture while stirring. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Return to low heat and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened.
- 2
Mix the egg yolk with the sour cream, then add to the cooled béchamel at room temperature. Heat gently for 3 minutes, stirring, then add the shredded Swiss cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
- 3
If you’re not using the Mornay sauce right away, dot the surface with small pieces of butter to prevent a skin from forming.
- 4
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Slice each croissant in half horizontally, but don’t cut all the way through.
- 5
Spoon a generous tablespoon of Mornay sauce inside each croissant, then add a slice of ham.
- 6
Top each croissant with another spoonful of Mornay sauce and sprinkle with shredded Swiss cheese. Bake until the top is golden and the inside is hot. Serve with a salad if you like.

Crispy Croissants Crispy Croissants
After I tried many recipes, I finally arrived at a recipe that I'm satisfied with!When you are sealing the edges of the dough together during Step 5, try not to let any air in. If a large amount of air gets in, then poke with a toothpick to let it out. If it's a small amount, don't worry about it! The dough will stick to the board and rolling pin as you repeatedly fold the dough, so dust with a small amount of flour. For 10 croissants. Recipe by Chikayan

Crispy Croissants Crispy Croissants
I wanted to make my mom's favorite croissants at home.It is important to continuously chill the dough to keep it from becoming too soft and difficult to work with. It is even better if you also chill your hands before handling the dough.You may also want to turn down the heat in the kitchen.If you should find air bubbles while rolling, try to gently move it toward the edge with the rolling pin to remove it.
