Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare Croissants: Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Place a half slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each croissant, followed by a slice of ham, and then another half slice of cheese. Place the top half of the croissant over the fillings to form a sandwich.
- Make Spread: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, yellow mustard, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the butter mixture evenly on the inside of each croissant sandwich.
- Arrange in Dish: Place the assembled croissant sandwiches in the prepared baking dish.
- Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white with a splash of water. Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm.
