  • Total Time: 39 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 butter croissants
  • 8 slices of chicken ham
  • 60 grams flour
  • 500 milliliters milk
  • 50 grams butter
  • 250 grams grated emmental cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the béchamel sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter (50 grams). Add the flour (60 grams) and stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux. Gradually pour in the milk (500 milliliters), whisking until smooth. Cook until thickened, then mix in the grated emmental cheese (250 grams), salt, pepper, and nutmeg before removing from heat.
  2. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice each croissant horizontally without cutting all the way through. Place a slice of chicken ham inside each croissant and top with a generous spoonful of the béchamel sauce.
  3. Arrange the filled croissants on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle any remaining béchamel sauce over the top and bake for approximately 24 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling.
