Croissants are a traditional French pastry that is best enjoyed fresh at breakfast time, either on their own or accompanied by coffee. If you have ever eaten a croissant, you know how delicious it can be.
The intense flavor and aroma of butter seduce the palate and inspire a multitude of pleasant sensations.
This select and elegant croissant is made with sourdough, giving it a fluffy texture and a delicious nuance. It has high percentages of butter, which make it a product as select as it is elegant.
Its intense lactic notes and complex aromas make the experience of eating it the gateway to a world full of sensations. Its attractive golden and shiny appearance (previously painted with egg) makes it stand out from other bread.
There are many ways to enjoy a plain croissant on its own, but for a more complete meal, you can turn them into a delicious breakfast sandwich. Here are some topping recommendations for croissants, depending on your preferences:
Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese
To make this savory filling, thinly slice a medium-sized onion and sauté it over medium heat in a tablespoon of olive oil, adding salt and pepper to taste, until the onion has softened and caramelized.
Split the croissant in half and spread a thin layer of goat cheese on one side. Top with warm caramelized onions and, if desired, toast in a 350 F oven for up to 15 minutes.
Pumpkin Pie
Add a touch of fall to your croissants by filling them with pumpkin puree and a handful of autumnal spices and flavorings. Serve them for dessert at a festival or enjoy them alongside a morning pumpkin spice latte.
Gelato
For a surprise factor, slice a croissant in half and hide a scoop or two of ice-cold gelato inside. Serve immediately and watch your guests go crazy with delight.
Fresh Fruit and Nutella
Chop up some fruit like strawberries, peaches, or bananas, and make a batch of homemade Nutella or whipped chocolate cream. Split the baked croissant in half, add your spread, and top with the fruit. Done!
Fresh Fruit and Whipped Cream
Cut up some fruit of your choice, such as strawberries or peaches. Slice a croissant in half and stuff the fruit inside, top it with whipped cream, and enjoy. Don’t cut the croissant all the way through; think of it like a hot dog bun and leave it connected on one side so that it can hold all the fruit and whipped cream easily.
Croissants are a classic pastry that offers pure pleasure with every bite. Whether enjoyed plain or filled with a variety of delicious toppings, they are sure to delight the senses and make any meal more enjoyable. So, go ahead and indulge in this exquisite pastry and savor the pure pleasure it brings.
