Ingredients:

  • 6 sheets round rice paper (approx. 8 in / 20 cm)
  • 1 large (50g) egg
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 slices (40g) deli ham, diced
  • 1/4 cup (30g) shredded Gruyère or Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) melted butter
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions:

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and salt until completely smooth.
  2. Prepare the softened butter, diced ham, and shredded cheese in easy-to-reach bowls.
  3. Dip one sheet of rice paper into the egg mixture for 2-3 seconds until moistened but not overly soggy.
  4. Lay the sheet flat on a clean surface and repeat the process, stacking 5 sheets on top of each other, dipping each one individually.
  5. Use scissors to cut the stack into thirds, then cut a large triangle from the middle piece.
  6. Spread a thin layer of softened butter over the triangle and add the diced ham and shredded cheese to the wide end of the triangle.
  7. Roll the triangle tightly from the wide base toward the tip.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (170°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  9. Place croissants on the tray, brush the tops with melted butter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  10. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the exterior is mahogany-colored and rigid to the touch.
