Ingredients
Scale
Croissants and Fillings
- 6 mini butter croissants, high-quality, flaky, golden brown
- 18 slices smoked turkey breast
- 3 slices Havarti cheese
- Romaine lettuce, enough for crisp texture and freshness
Secret Sauce
- â…“ cup (5.33 tbsp / 79 ml) mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp (60 ml) sour cream
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) Dijon mustard
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the secret sauce: In a bowl, whisk together â…“ cup mayonnaise, 4 tablespoons sour cream, 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and a pinch of black pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this sauce aside for assembling the sandwiches.
- Toast the croissants: Cut each mini butter croissant in half horizontally. Place the croissant halves in a pan over low heat and toast them lightly for a few minutes until they turn golden and warm, ensuring the croissant remains flaky, not soggy. Alternatively, for faster toasting, place sliced croissants on a baking sheet and broil under the oven broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of the secret sauce on one half of each croissant. Layer 3 slices of smoked turkey breast evenly on top of the sauce, add half a slice of Havarti cheese, then a portion of romaine lettuce for freshness and crispness. Be careful not to overfill to maintain sandwich stability and texture. Finally, place the other croissant half on top to complete the sandwich.
- Storage advice: If preparing ahead, store the croissant halves separately in an airtight container to prevent sogginess. Assemble sandwiches just before serving to keep the croissants flaky and fresh.
Notes
