Once you’ve enjoyed our Bake Shop all-butter, flaky croissants fresh with jam or cheese, it’s time to get creative. Why not transform them into your new favourite side – a croissant-topped corn pudding, griddle them into croissant waffles or stuff and drizzle them for dessert?
1. Croissant Waffles
Give a diner favourite a Parisian twist in this two-for-one breakfast dish! This 4-ingredient waffle mash-up will definitely make weekend mornings more memorable.
Instructions: Cut 4 Bake Shop 100% Butter Croissants in half horizontally, leaving a hinge on one side. Whisk 3 large eggs with ¾ cup (175 mL) milk and ¼ tsp (1 mL) cinnamon in a baking dish. Soak croissants in egg mixture, letting mixture inside as well. Let stand, flipping halfway, 3 mins. Brush pre-heated waffle iron with melted butter, then arrange one or two croissants on iron. Cook until golden, 4 to 5 mins. Repeat with remaining croissants. Serve croissant waffles warm with maple syrup, jam, whipped cream and fresh berries.
2. Double Ham and Cheese Croissant Strata
Switch up your strata strategy by switching out day-old bread with leftover 100% butter croissants. This Double Ham and Cheese Croissant Strata, with layers of honey ham, cheddar cheese, and Black Forest Smoked Ham delivers big on flavour and convenience. Get the recipe.
3. Croissant-Topped Corn Pudding
With a tender texture that falls somewhere in between a moist slice of bread and a delicate scoop of soufflé, this pudding is a savoury side dish you may want to put on high rotation. Serve alongside a crisp, citrusy-dressed green salad as a vegetarian main or save it for dinnertime and serve it with roasted asparagus and ham. Get the recipe.
4. Speedy Almond Croissants
Calling all almond lovers! This easy, almond-stuffed, and topped croissant recipe is ready in just 25 minutes! Spread sliced Bake Shop 100% Butter Croissants with a two-ingredient filling (butter, meet marzipan), add an almondy-icing sugar drizzle and bake it all to meld the flavours together and get a gentle crisp. Get the recipe.
5. Boston Cream Croissants
Custard – check! Chocolaty topping- check! If you love a good Boston Cream Pie, chances are you’ll love this rendition only using a flaky, buttery croissant as your foundation.
Instructions: Cut 4 Bake Shop 100% Butter Croissants in half horizontally. Spread melted Compliments Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips over tops of croissants, then refrigerate on a plate until chocolate is slightly firm, 15 mins. Meanwhile, stir 1 pkg (1 L) Compliments Whipped Topping with 1 pkg (99 g) Compliments Vanilla-Flavoured Instant Pudding and ¼ cup (60 mL) milk in a large bowl until mixture is no longer grainy. Stir in more milk if you prefer a smoother consistency. Spread or pipe cream over bottom halves of croissant, then sandwich with top halves.
