My goal every year for hosting Easter Brunch is simple: feed a crowd, but keep it easy and make it delicious. I’m always going to think about Easter being synonymous with ham (I don’t know why lol,) so I decided to make these absolutely fabulous ham croissant sliders that are slathered in a hot honey mustard butter with melty cheese. Naturally, I’ve got a drink pairing for you as well!
As always the 👏🏼 ingredients 👏🏼 matter 👏🏼, especially when the ingredient is the star of the show. Both Four Roses and Kentucky Legend have over 100 years of crafting high quality premium products, and are incredible at what they do. If you haven’t tried @Kentucky_Legend ‘s Baked Honey Smoked Ham… you’ve gotta asap. Premium quality, pre-cooked, pre-sliced and so dang good-Highly recommend! The same goes for the bourbon in our bourbon aperol spritzes. I’m using one of my husband’s personal faves @FourRosesBourbon Small Batch and it pairs perfectly with our ham sliders.
INGREDIENTS:
6-8 Croissants
@Kentucky_Legend Baked Honey Smoked Ham
1 stick of butter
1 tbsp hot honey
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp whole grain mustard
1 tbsp Brown sugar
1 tbsp poppy seeds, optional
12 Slices of Cheddar
DIRECTIONS:
First, cut croissants in half. Then spread whole grain mustard inside of the croissant. Layer the ham slices with the cheese slices, then repeating again. Close the croissants and place onto a greased baking sheet or baking dish. Whisk together melted butter, hot honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and poppy seeds then slather on the tops of the croissants. Cover with foil and bake for 15-20 min at 350, until cheese is melted. Remove foil and bake for a few more minutes, to get the tops nice and toasty – being careful not to burn!
