Notes

  • Fresh mozzarella provides the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Add crispy bacon, turkey, avocado, spinach, arugula, or roasted red peppers for tasty variations.
  • Burrata or provolone can be substituted for the mozzarella.
  • Assemble the sandwiches just before serving to keep the croissants flaky.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in a 325°F (165°C) oven or air fryer for 4–6 minutes until warmed through and crisp.
