Preparation
- Lightly flour a clean work surface. Flour a rolling pin and roll out each puff pastry sheet to flatten the seams. Lay the sheets 2 by 2.
- Make a diagonal cut across the 2 bottom sheets of puff pastry from the lower right corner to the midpoint on the left side of the lower left sheet.
- Make another diagonal cut across the 2 top sheets of puff pastry from the upper right corner to the midpoint on the left side of the upper left sheet.
- Holding the bottom pieces together, rotate clockwise 180˚ and up, so that the left side of the bottom strip meets the left side of the lower middle strip.
- Holding the top pieces together, rotate counterclockwise 180˚ and down, so that the left side of the top strip meets the left side of the up middle strip.
- Seal the seams by brushing a bit of egg wash where the pieces of pastry meet, overlapping the pieces slightly, and pressing together.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the cheese slices in a single layer across the lower portion of the triangle. Top with a single layer of ham slices.
- Roll up the puff pastry from the base of the triangle to the top point.
- Place the croissant on the prepared baking sheet and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the croissant from the oven, take off the foil, and brush the croissant with egg wash.
- Bake for another 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the croissant is golden brown.
- Let cool for 20 minutes, then slice and serve.
- Enjoy!
