Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (if you want warm croissants) or simply have the croissants at room temperature for a cold sandwich.
2. Carefully slice each mini croissant in half horizontally with a serrated knife to create a top and bottom piece.
3. Cut thin slices of sharp cheddar. Layer enough slices to cover the bottom half of each croissant without overlapping too much.
4. Core and thinly slice the Honeycrisp apple. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer over the cheddar on each croissant.
5. Spread Dijon mustard very lightly on the inside of the top half of each croissant, using as much or as little as you like based on your taste for sharpness.
6. Place the croissant tops over the layered bottoms to form the sandwiches. If desired, warm the assembled sandwiches in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese just begins to soften and the croissant is slightly crisp.
7. Rinse and dry the mini cucumbers. Slice them into thin rounds or spears and arrange them on a plate to serve alongside the sandwiches for a crunchy side.

Tips

• Layer the cheddar directly on the croissant so it will slightly melt if warmed.
• Use a mandoline or sharp knife to get uniform, thin apple slices for better texture.
