With egg wash side up, tuck croissant tails underneath itself, then tuck the sides of the croissant underneath itself and pinch together to form a ball shape.
Place croissant seam-side down, in greased, standard muffin pan; lightly press dough down into pan.
Bake as directed below until deep golden brown and baked through; internal temperature should be at least 210°F.
Allow croissants to cool in pan 15-30 minutes to retain shape, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely for another 30-45 minutes.
