I bought a box of La Boulangerie Smoked Ham & Swiss Cheese Pockets from Costco and they are so good…especially that flakey croissant crust you get from heating them in the oven or air fryer. For a softer crust, you can also microwave it. They can be found in select Costco freezers and come 8 in a box, individually wrapped. These ham and cheese croissants are fully cooked but you do need to heat them up to an internal temperature of 165˚F.
The La Boulangerie Smoked Ham & Swiss Cheese Croissant makes for a yummy snack, a no fuss breakfast, or a delicious lunch. There are cooking directions near the bottom of this post. I usually cook mine (from frozen) in the air fryer and then finish it in the microwave for 20 seconds if the center of the croissant pocket isn’t warmed all the way through. You can also refrigerate this for up to 3 days before cooking it. The croissant is made with butter and the smoked ham does have sodium nitrite, so no one here is saying this is a healthy meal option. For those with allergies, it does contain wheat and milk.
