– 1/2 cup (115g) thinly sliced ham
– 1/2 cup (115g) shredded cheese (such as cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella)

– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

4. Place a few slices of ham and a sprinkle of shredded cheese on the wide end of each triangle.
5. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs over the ham and cheese.

7. Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5cm) of space between each.
8. Brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg for a golden glaze.
9. Bake the croissants for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
