Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 Large Croissants or 8 Mini Croissants
- 8 Slices of Havarti Cheese
- 16 Slices of Turkey
- 4 Tablespoons of Apricot Jelly
- 4 Tablespoons of Honey Mustard
- 1/2 Cup of Arugula or Micro Greens
- 2 Tablespoons of Butter
- Everything Bagel Seasoning, to taste
- Honey, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Croissants: Slice each croissant in half horizontally, ensuring not to cut all the way through if you prefer a hinged sandwich. This allows for easier layering and prevents fillings from spilling out.
- Toast the Croissants: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, place the croissant halves cut side down and sprinkle them lightly with everything bagel seasoning. Toast for 2-3 minutes until golden and slightly crispy, then remove from heat.
- Spread the Sauces: Evenly spread the apricot jelly on the bottom halves of the croissants and honey mustard on the top halves. The combination of sweet and tangy complements the turkey and cheese perfectly.
- Layer the Fillings: On the bottom half of each croissant, layer 4 slices of turkey and 2 slices of Havarti cheese. Top with a generous handful of arugula or microgreens for freshness and a peppery bite.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the top halves over the filled bottoms, pressing gently to secure the sandwich. If desired, drizzle a little honey over the greens before closing for extra sweetness.
- Serve: Serve immediately while the croissants are warm and the cheese starts to slightly melt from the toasted bread. Enjoy this delightful sandwich for breakfast, lunch, or a satisfying snack.
Notes
- For a spicy twist, add a few slices of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
- Use low-fat turkey breast to reduce calories if desired.
- If you prefer, substitute arugula with spinach or lettuce for milder greens.
- Everything bagel seasoning can be bought pre-made or homemade with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic and onion flakes, and salt.
- To make mini sandwiches, simply use smaller croissants and adjust quantities accordingly.
