5. Layer Ham and Cheese: Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on the wider end of each triangle.
6. Roll Croissants: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly toward the point to form a croissant shape.
7. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
