* Ham and Cheese Croissants {Because I Can}

These ham and cheese croissants are a quick and simple snack idea for lunch or supper. They take 10 minutes to throw together - if that - and even less time to consume.

I've had them sitting in my photographs folder for a while - whilst I considered whether or not they were blog worthy enough NOT to make my repeat readers feel ripped off...

... I'm bored. I have a spare ten minutes. So here we are.

If you do feel ripped off, you may leave... (Pleeeeease don't go!!!) I for one, hope you stay long enough to realise that although this is a glorified ham and cheese sandwich that you need no recipe for - it's actually a pretty neat idea that isn't a ham and cheese sandwich and is so easy it may not have crossed your mind to give it a whirl.

Neil loves them.

I'm not going to give you a specific recipe, but here's what you do...

Ham and Cheese Croissants

• Whack the oven on to 160c fan/180c/350f .
• Slice four (or more - you choose. We usually have two each) croissants in half, horizontally.
• Grab some butter or low fat spread (from the fridge) along with some thick slices of smoked ham and a wedge of gruyere cheese.
• Grate the gruyere into a bowl - you need a large handful for four croissants.
• Spread each cut side of all the croissants with butter then pile as much ham and cheese as you like onto one half of each.
• Place the other half of the croissant on the top and scatter with any remaining cheese.
• Place on a baking sheet and pop into the oven - the oven does not need to have reached it's temperature, it just needs to be on it's way.
• Make yourself a hot drink (tea/coffee - whatever you fancy) and by the time you're stirring your teaspoon in your cup, the croissants will be done. If you don't drink tea or coffee - leave your croissants cooking for just shy of 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, plate up... and EAT.
