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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- 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.
- 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.
- Fill the Croissants: Place a spoonful of the tuna and cream cheese mixture at the base of each triangle.
- 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.
- Egg Wash: Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg yolk for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- 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.
