Notes

    • For a copycat Starbucks version: Use hickory-smoked ham and swiss cheese with your croissants!
    • Try out other meat options: Instead of using ham slices, try prosciutto, bacon, turkey, or sliced chicken.
    • Use your favorite cheese: Swap out the cheese and use what you have on hand! Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, muenster cheese, or Gruyere cheese are all great choice.
    • Swap out the fig jam: Replace it with any sweet jam like apricot or raspberry, or replace it with any savory-sweet sauce like Dijon mustard or honey mustard!
    • Garnish the sandwiches: Sometimes I will top these with melted butter and poppy seeds!
