Ham and Cheese Rice Paper Croissants Recipe

Inspired by the viral rice paper croissants made famous on TikTok, we took our version of the quasi-pastry in a French direction with a ham-and-Gruyère filling. The foundation is a simple piece of rice paper that’s soaked in beaten egg. Stacking, cutting and rolling the rice paper mimics the layers of croissant dough, and when baked it develops the puffed shape and glossy brown exterior that totally reads “croissant.” Meanwhile, the interior stays pleasantly chewy and mochi-like. The ham adds lots of meaty flavor while the cheese browns and crisps irresistibly around the edges of the pastries. The result is a very savory and delicious treat with a golden-brown exterior and flaky layers of a bakery croissant that’s ready in about an hour instead of a day or more like yeast-risen croissants.
