Giant ham & cheese croissant from What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking (page 187) by Caroline Chambers

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Go easy on the Dijon mustard as it can be overpowering. With a few tweaks this could easily be a five star recipe

    Easy and quick—you just need to plan ahead to defrost the pastry. The puff pastry I used was smaller by a couple of ounces than the recipe specified, but it worked fine. I could imagine riffing off this with whatever is in the fridge.
