Croissants of all kinds are delicious, whether a flaky butter croissant or a chocolate-centered Pain Au Chocolat. However, there is something pretty special about the delicious filling. What’s more? You can conveniently buy an amazing buttery and flaky croissant from your favourite bakery. Fill it with a delightful centre to enjoy a highly decadent result.
So, if you are looking for different ways to jazz up your favourite croissants, here are some easy filling ideas you can try:
An easy way to incorporate fruits into your brunch menu or quick breakfast option is to add them to your croissant. Chop some bananas, strawberries, blueberries, peaches,a etc., and keep them aside. Now pick your favourite chocolate and nut spread with some whipped cream.
Slice the croissant in half and fill it with a generous dollop of the cream-chocolate mix. Top this with the chopped fruits, close the croissant, and enjoy!
Sauté some thinly sliced onions in oil until it caramelises. Let this cool down to room temperature. Meanwhile, slit the croissant and spread a generous layer of goat or ricotta cheese. Top it with the cooled onions and sprinkle salt and pepper for extra flavour. Toast this to your liking, or simply dig in!
Biscuits go exceptionally well with a hot cup of freshly brewed tea and are the perfect go-to bite for lazy Sunday afternoons. However, a croissant might be the preferred accompaniment if you are a coffee lover. To go the extra mile, cut your croissant in half. Make a simple chocolate ganache and layer it generously over the slices.
Top this chocolate layer with chopped dry fruits like toasted almonds, pistachios, etc. You can also add dried berries and chocolate chips for some extra decadence. Now close the croissant and drizzle with more chocolate ganache for an extra unique look and taste.
Slice the buttery croissant from the middle and add some cheese slices. Toast this in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts. Add a piece of lettuce to this. Next, top it off with slices of high-quality ham and a fried egg with a runny centre. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Cover the croissant with the second slice and enjoy.
Ice cream sandwiches are pretty popular but what about gelato-filled croissants? To make this, slice the flaky croissant. However, do not separate the slices. Next, fill it with scoops of gelato, add some chopped nuts, and serve immediately. Then enjoy the ice-cold creamy gelato with every bite of the croissant!
Slice the croissant in half and add thick slices of brie over it. Place it on a grill until the cheese melts. In the meantime, fry some thick bacon pieces until ready. Top the cheese with the bacon slices, drizzle with honey, and dive into its exquisite taste.
