Brunch for Lunch Ham Croissandwich Recipe

Step 1: Arrange drained apple slices in single layer - no overlap - on a sheet pan with parchment paper that is heavily sprayed with cooking oil.

Step 2: Cook at 400°F for 16-20 minutes or until apples have begun to soften and brown, stirring halfway through for even roasting.  Once done, set aside to cool to room temperature

Step 3: In a mixing bowl (preferably an electric mixer with a paddle attachment), thoroughly combine cream cheese, cooked apples, honey, cinnamon and lemon juice into a creamy spread

Step 4: Store under refrigeration overnight before serving

Step 5: Thaw Chicken Ham and separate slices for easier build

To Build The Sandwich

Step 1: Open croissant rolls and on bottom roll, use a #30 scoop (2 Tbsp.) to apply the apply cream cheese mixture and spread evenly

Step 2: Add Chicken Ham slices on top of spread

Step 3: Place the top roll on the sandwich and ready to serve

Chef’s Note:  Prepare cream cheese mixture a day ahead.  For hot application, separate chicken ham slices in hotel pan, cover with foil and bake for 8-10 min. at 350°F. Hold in warmer until ready to build sandwiches. When sandwiches are built, place in pan and cook, uncovered, for 3-4 min. at 350°F. Hold in warmer until ready to serve.
