Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 Croissants
- 3 slices Cheese
- 6 slices Ham
- 1 Tomato (sliced)
- 4 Fresh Strawberries (halved or sliced)
- Lettuce leaves
- Strawberry jam
- Mustard sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the croissants. Carefully slice each croissant in half horizontally using a serrated knife, creating a pocket for the fillings. Handle them gently to avoid crumbling.
Step 2
Warm the croissants for added flavor and texture. Place them on a pan over low heat and toast gently until they are slightly warm and lightly crisp. Be cautious not to burn them, as they toast quickly.
Step 3
While the croissants are warming, prepare your fresh vegetables. Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly, pat them dry, and tear or chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Slice the cheese and ham into portions that fit well within the croissants. Layering multiple slices will create a richer taste and texture.
Step 5
Wash and thinly slice the tomato. Using a sweet variety like ‘Daejeo’ tomatoes, which are known for their mild sweetness and low acidity, is highly recommended, especially if serving to children. They add a delightful freshness.
Step 6
Wash the fresh strawberries, remove the green tops, and then halve or thinly slice them. These seasonal strawberries are at their peak sweetness and will provide a wonderful tangy contrast to the sandwich.
Step 7
Assemble your sandwich! Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam on the bottom half of the warmed croissant. Then, add a drizzle of mustard sauce according to your preference. Generously layer with cheese, ham, tomato slices, prepared strawberries, and a good amount of fresh lettuce.
Step 8
Enjoy your beautifully crafted croissant sandwich with your family! The combination of sweet strawberries, juicy tomatoes, and crisp lettuce offers a delightful burst of freshness with every bite. This is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table!
