Preparation: Preheat your oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleaning.
Assembly: Spread the croissant dough on the baking paper, sealing any perforations if you are using individual croissants.
Mix the ham, cheese and honey mustard in a bowl, then spread this mixture in the center of the dough.
Cut diagonal strips along both sides of the dough and fold them over the filling in a braided pattern. Top with a little extra cheese if desired.
Baking: Bake the braid for about 16 to 20 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Serving: Allow to cool slightly before cutting. Serve warm, ideally with extra honey mustard or your favourite sauce.
