Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the croissants.
Prepare the croissants: Spread 1 teaspoon of apricot jelly or jam on one half of each sliced croissant, and spread 1 teaspoon of honey mustard on the other half, creating a balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
Assemble the sandwich: Place 2 slices of creamy Havarti cheese on one half of each croissant and 4 slices of roasted or smoked deli turkey on the other half. Sprinkle microgreens over the turkey side to add freshness, then carefully close each sandwich.
Add the finishing touches: Brush the tops of the assembled croissants generously with melted garlic butter. Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning over the tops for an herby, savory crust. Finish with a light drizzle of honey to enhance the flavors and add a touch of sweetness.
Bake the croissants: Arrange the croissants on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese has fully melted and the croissants are warm and slightly crispy. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Substitute Havarti cheese with Swiss or Gruyere for a different cheese profile.
Use smoked turkey for a richer flavor or roasted turkey for a milder taste.
Ensure the croissants are fresh for the best texture and flavor.
Everything Bagel seasoning can be homemade or store-bought.
For an extra crispy top, place croissants under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
