- 4 slices of Havarti cheese
Bread Base:
- 4 croissants
Flavor Enhancers:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) of butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
Instructions
- Carefully split open each croissant horizontally, creating a pocket for filling.
- Layer slices of turkey and Havarti cheese inside the croissant, ensuring even distribution.

- Generously coat the exterior of each croissant with the fragrant garlic butter mixture, using a pastry brush.
- Arrange the prepared croissants on a baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow even heating.
- Transfer the baking sheet to a preheated oven at 350F (175C) and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese melts completely and the croissant edges turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
