Ham, Cheese & Smoked Bacon Croissant

What is it?

Butter croissant dough wrapped around ham, melted cheese and smoked bacon, then served warm. The filling sits in the centre rather than getting folded through the layers, so you get a straightforward mix of salty meat, dairy and pastry in each bite. Compared with other Pret breakfast pastries, it leans more like a filled croissant than a plain one, with the warming step softening the cheese and keeping the bacon from going crisp. It’s a simple grab-and-go format, usually eaten by hand.
