Ham Spinach And Gruyère Croissant Ring Recipes

BREAKFAST CROISSANTS STUFFED WITH HAM AND GRUYERE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Unroll crescent dough and separate individual rolls at perforations. Place 1 piece of ham and 1 tablespoon of Gruyere cheese in the center of each triangle. Fold over the 2 longer sides of the triangle, overlapping them to seal ham and cheese.
• Arrange crescents 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.
• Wrap crescents individually with wax paper and place into a large resealable bag. Place in the freezer.

HAM, SPINACH AND GRUYèRE CROISSANT RING RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Oil a pizza stone or grease a baking tray. Leave the croissant dough in the fridge until the last minute.
• Start by blanching the spinach. Bring a pan of water to the boil, drop in the spinach and allow it to wilt for 3 mins. Remove from the pan and leave to drain over the pan - this takes a little while, but you don't want excess water in the dough ring.
• Meanwhile, put the ham into a large mixing bowl, add the lemon zest, tomatoes, spring onions, mushrooms and rocket. Once the spinach has drained, stir the mascarpone cheese through it and add to the ham mix in the bowl. Add a good grinding of black pepper.
• Take the dough out of the fridge, lay it out on a chopping board and separate along the perforations until you have squares. Cut each square diagonally so that you then have triangles. Arrange the triangles so they overlap and are in a large circle - the idea being you place your filling along the middle then pull over the top tips of the triangle and tuck underneath to encase the filling. Continue until you have used all your triangles, then spoon on the filling. Finish by sprinkling the Gruyère cheese over the filling, then fold the triangle tips over and tuck them underneath.
• Place in the oven and cook for 30 mins. Ensure the dough is cooked through and has a golden top. Serve immediately.
