Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it.

  3. Cut the mini croissants in half horizontally and spread the butter mixture on both sides. Layer with smoked deli ham and Swiss cheese to form 12 sandwiches.
  4. Place the assembled croissants in the greased baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

  7. Let the croissants cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm.
