Cook: 25

Total: 30

Ingredients

12 mini croissants, sliced in half
275g Giorgio's Mozzarella, thinly sliced

½ cup Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
200g smoked ham, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cup full cream milk
1 tsp dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

‍

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180c and prepare two baking trays lined with parchment paper.

Step 2

To make the sauce, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium to low heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until slightly golden in colour. Gradually add the milk and continue whisking to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and whisking until the sauce thickens, roughly about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and mix in the ricotta and parmigiano reggiano cheese. Once combined, set aside.

Step 4

To assemble, spread a layer of the cheesey béchamel sauce on the bottom of each of the croissants. Add the smoked ham along with a few slices of Mozzarella cheese. Place the top half of the croissant on top.

Step 5

Add a thin layer of extra cheesey béchamel sauce to the top of each of the croissants and grate a little more parmigiano reggiano cheese over the top. Place into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the croissants are golden, and the cheese is melted.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and grate more of the parmigiano reggiano over the top. Serve immediately.
