Savory Croissants

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought)
  • 100g canned tuna, drained
  • 100g cream cheese (such as Madame Loïk)
  • 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
  • Optional: herbs or spices of your choice (e.g., dill, pepper)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the drained tuna with the cream cheese until well combined. Add any optional herbs or spices for extra flavor.
  3. Roll Out the Pastry: Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into triangles (like a pizza) to form the croissants.
  4. Fill the Croissants: Place a spoonful of the tuna and cream cheese mixture at the base of each triangle.
  5. Shape the Croissants: Roll each triangle from the base to the tip to form a croissant shape. Make sure to tuck in the ends to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  6. Egg Wash: Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg yolk for a golden finish.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.

Tips

  • You can substitute tuna with other fillings like ham, cheese, or vegetables.
  • These croissants can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from frozen.
