Notes

Feel free to substitute ingredients based on what you have. Use different types of cheese or meats as per your preference!
For added crispiness, broil the croissants for an extra 60-90 seconds at the end of baking, watching closely.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
This versatile sauce can also be used as a dip for fries, chicken, or veggies. Make extra to enjoy with other snacks throughout the week!
