Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the 1 large croissant horizontally, leaving one side attached like a book.

  2. Step 2

    Spread the 1 tbsp butter on the inside of both halves. Place the 2 oz cheddar cheese slices evenly over the bottom half.

  3. Step 3

    Close the croissant and wrap it loosely in foil. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the croissant is warm and slightly crisp on the outside.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from the oven, let cool for 1 minute, then serve warm.
