Ingredients
  

8 mini croissants

1 lb cooked turkey breast, sliced (leftover or deli-style)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Using a hand mixer or spatula, blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.

      Assemble the Croissants: Carefully slice each mini croissant in half horizontally. On the bottom half of each croissant, spread a generous layer of the prepared cream cheese mixture for added flavor.

        Layer the Fillings: On top of the cream cheese layer, add a slice or two of the turkey breast. Follow this with a generous handful of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ensuring an even distribution for melty goodness.

          Close the Croissants: Place the top half of each croissant over the turkey and cheese filling, pressing down gently to create a mini sandwich.

            Bake the Croissant Melts: Arrange the filled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and melted.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the croissant melts from the oven. Allow them to cool for about a minute before sprinkling fresh chopped parsley on top for a burst of color. Serve warm and enjoy these delightful bites!
