Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Unroll the croissant dough onto a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
On each triangle, place a small amount of diced ham, followed by a generous spoonful of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Step 4: Roll Up the Croissants
Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle into a crescent shape. Tuck in any loose edges to seal the fillings.
Step 5: Apply Egg Wash
Brush each roll with the beaten egg to give the croissants a golden, glossy finish.
Step 6: Bake
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Step 7: Garnish & Serve
Remove from the oven, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with chopped parsley for an extra touch of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Croissant Rolls
1. Use Cold Dough: Keeping the croissant dough chilled makes it easier to handle and roll without tearing.
2. Don’t Overfill: Adding too much filling may cause the cheese to ooze out during baking.
3. Custom Fillings: Swap ham for turkey or bacon, and experiment with different cheeses like Swiss or Gruyère.
4. Serve Fresh: These rolls taste best warm and fresh from the oven.
