Create your own ham and cheese salad sandwich recipe
The best thing about this butter croissant sandwich is that it can be whatever you want it to be! Get creative and customise any of the ingredients to create your ultimate combination. You can try different cheeses, add some extra condiments or do a salad swap – here’s a few ideas to get you started:
- Choose something other than cheddar and try a couple of slices of slightly sweet Emmental, an earthy goat’s cheese or the classically creamy French brie.
- Add a sharp kick with a layer of mustard on top of your mayo – Dijon if you want to keep things French.
- A chutney is always a great addition to ham and cheese. You could try a dollop of tangy tomato or sweet caramelised onion.
- Cucumber isn’t everyone’s favourite, so you could also get that crunch from a radish, pepper or celery.
- If you like a more peppery kick from your leaves, use a handful of rocket instead of the lettuce.
Even better than bread
You don’t always need a wrap, baguette or roll – there are so many reasons why St Pierre All Butter Croissants make a great sandwich too. For a start, you don’t need to add butter because the flavour is already there, and it’s the perfect complement to so many different fillings. With their fluffy, airy texture, they’re a lighter alternative to denser breads – and because they’re bigger than our standard croissant, you can fit even more inside.
Even better than sliced bread, All Butter Croissants elevate an ordinary sandwich into something special. Try all your favourite croissant sandwich recipes to make lunchtime magnifique.
