Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the croissant sandwiches.
Spread the condiments: On each sliced croissant, spread 1 teaspoon of apricot jelly or jam on one half and 1 teaspoon of honey mustard on the other half to introduce a balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
Assemble the fillings: Layer 2 slices of Havarti cheese on one half and 4 slices of turkey on the other half of each croissant. Then sprinkle microgreens over the turkey to add freshness and a subtle crunch. Close each sandwich carefully.
Prepare the croissants for baking: Brush the tops of the assembled croissants with melted garlic butter, sprinkle generously with Everything Bagel seasoning to add savory and aromatic notes, and drizzle honey over the top for a light sweetness.
Bake and serve: Arrange the croissants on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the croissants are warm. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

You can substitute Havarti cheese with Swiss or Gruyere for a different but complementary flavor.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
Make sure not to overfill the croissants to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
