# Steps:
01 -
Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch pan with oil or cooking spray.

Arrange the croissant sandwiches snugly into the greased baking pan.

Mix egg white with a little water in a small bowl. Brush this egg wash on top of the croissants and sprinkle them with poppy seeds.

Pop the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are nice and golden, and the cheese is gooey.

Take them out of the oven and serve them hot.

For a twist, try sliding a tomato slice or baby spinach into the sandwiches before baking.
