Recipe for Ham and Cheese Croissants

Prepare the béchamel sauce: in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter.

Add the flour and mix vigorously with a spatula to obtain a roux.

Pour the milk in and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Season with salt and pepper and add a bit of nutmeg. When the mixture starts to thicken well, remove it from the heat.

Cut the cheese into slices. Cut the croissants in half lengthwise up to ¾. Fill them with béchamel sauce. Add the ham and cheese.

Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated oven at 160°C. Serve hot with a green salad.

To finish, this recipe allows you to reuse leftover croissants.
