Croissanwich recipes

This buttery flaky yummy Croissant is one of our favorite family breakfast. Even though we are all fond of it, each of us relish it in a different manner. 

My son likes it with cream cheese. Husband loves to have it with cream cheese and blueberry spread or as Croissanwich. I like to eat it plain dipping in my morning tea ☺.

This obsession of croissant started during our Europe trip.  We stayed in a hotel for an extended period of time in Vevey, Switzerland. There we used to find these freshly baked croissants daily for the break fast along with cream cheese and blueberry spread. It was our favorite from the breakfast bar. We use to devour them along with a warm cup of freshly brewed coffee. When we were back in USA we got the blueberry spread from local grocery store. 
Coming to Croissanwich we used to have it in a fast food joint in USA. They serve it with cheese and egg minus meat as we are vegetarians. I added avocado to my recipe because it would balance the dry ingredients, act as dressing. Also I want to add something healthy. I took spicy pepper jack cheese since we have a spicy palette but you can substitute with some other cheese. Cheddar cheese or American cheese also goes well with this recipe. When making the omelet I break the egg directly into the pan since we are not adding any vegetables to it (Fried egg). Also I like to spread the yellow into the mixture because I want the tasty part in every bite. 

 Last but not least I buy croissants from 'Costco'.They are big, super fresh and soft, freshly baked and very tasty. They are perfect for this recipe. But you can make these with any croissant.

  6. Flip the omelette and cook the other side for a minute.
  7. When its almost done take a slice of Pepper jack cheese and place it on top of the omelet.Let it sit until you see the cheese color changes.
  8. Now turn off the stove and keep the Omelette with cheese aside.
  9. Now take an Avocado, cut it in the middle and spoon out half the Avocado.Mash or chop.
  10. Take a knife and make a slit in the Croissant lengthwise all the way. Spread the avocado inside the croissant
  11. Now fold the omelet with cheese in middle and place it into the croissant.

Masala Croissanwich


East meets west in this recipe. Freshly baked Croissant stuffed with spicy Potato curry Indian style is a must to try.  I can have it every day. The Croissanwich is delicious and filling.When I make Masala dosa stuffing, the next day I would make these Croissanwiches with left over curry. These are perfect for lunch box too. You can have these for any meal. Serve with some salad to make it complete. For me just the sandwich serves as meal.
