Ingredients You’ll Need (In Order of Use)

For the Honey Mustard Spread

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

For the Croissants

• 4 mini croissants

• 4 slices deli ham

How to Make Mini Club Croissants

Step 1: Make the Honey Mustard

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, honey, and mustard until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2: Assemble the Croissants

Slice the mini croissants in half horizontally and place the bottoms on a baking sheet.

Spread a small amount of honey mustard on each croissant bottom. Layer with ham, turkey, bacon, and a slice of cheese. Place the tops of the croissants over the filling.

Brush the tops lightly with melted butter if desired.

Step 3: Bake Until Warm and Melty

Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, or until the croissants are warmed through and the cheese is melted. Serve warm.

Helpful Tips for Best Results

• Use mini croissants for easy portioning and serving.

• Warm the bacon slightly before assembling so it stays crisp.

• Don’t overfill or the croissants can slide apart.

• Line the baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.

• Serve immediately for the best texture.

Easy Variations and Add-Ins

• Add sliced tomato or lettuce after baking for a fresh crunch

• Use roast beef instead of turkey for a heartier sandwich

• Swap honey mustard for plain mayo or spicy mustard

• Add a slice of provolone or mozzarella for a different cheese flavor

• Sprinkle poppy seeds on top before baking for a bakery-style look

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

These mini croissants are best served fresh while warm.

If needed, you can assemble them ahead of time, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven until warmed through.
