Ingredients
For the Sandwich
• 2 croissants, sliced in half
• 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, gruyère, or your favorite melting cheese)
• 1 tbsp butter (for grilling)
For the Honey Butter Glaze
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp honey
• ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Honey Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, and sea salt. Set aside.
2️⃣ Assemble the Sandwich: Place 2 slices of cheese inside each croissant half, ensuring full coverage.
3️⃣ Grill the Croissant: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter, then place the croissants cut-side down. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing down lightly, until golden brown and the cheese melts.
4️⃣ Brush with Honey Butter: Once done, remove from the pan and immediately brush the tops of the croissants with the honey butter glaze.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy: Serve warm with an extra drizzle of honey if desired. Pair with fresh fruit or a hot cup of coffee for the ultimate experience!
Why This Recipe Works
The contrast of the buttery croissant, savory melted cheese, and the sweet, salty honey glaze makes this sandwich an unforgettable treat. The flaky layers soak up the honey butter, creating a caramelized, crispy exterior while keeping the inside gooey and delicious. Perfect for those who love a sweet and savory combo!
