These Ham, Brie, and Homemade Cherry Chutney Croissants are delicious hot breakfast sandwiches that really hit the spot! The winning combination of flaky buttery croissants, warm ham, creamy melted Brie, and a spicy-sweet cherry chutney spread are a perfect way to start your day.Not only for breakfast, I also like to serve these as party food. Cut the sandwiches into thirds for snack-size portions. In addition, this is a great recipe to make use of leftover ham and brie from the holidays!
Place the top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
Arrange the croissant halves onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a Silpat™ baking mat or parchment paper. Top the bottom half of each croissant with 2 slices of Canadian bacon (or breakfast ham), and several thin slices of Brie, as shown. Set aside.
Spread two tablespoons of the chutney onto the top half of each croissant, as shown. You might want to warm it up.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and heat for 5-7 minutes, or just until the Brie is nicely melted, but not running off the sandwiches.
Remove from oven and add the baby arugula to each sandwich, if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
