    Ingredients

    • 4 pieces croissants

    • 8 slices ham

    • 8 slices cheese

    • 1 tablespoon butter

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
    • Slice each croissant horizontally ensuring not to cut them all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
    • Place two slices of ham and two slices of cheese inside each croissant pocket, making sure they are evenly distributed.
    • Use a pastry brush to spread melted butter on the top of each croissant, which will help them become golden brown during baking.
    • Arrange the filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, then bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
    • Remove from the oven and let the croissants cool slightly before serving them warm for an optimal taste experience.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    The Kitchen in July: What to Cook When It’s Too Hot to Cook

    Gochujang Potato Salad

    Gochujang contains capsaicin from Korean red peppers, which has been linked to anti-inflammatory benefits and metabolic support, as well as beneficial compounds from the fermentation process that may support gut health. Potatoes are a naturally fiber-rich, potassium-packed vegetable, and using a modest amount of mayonnaise balanced with rice vinegar keeps this dressing lighter than a traditional heavy mayo potato salad.
