Description

Imagine biting into a warm, flaky croissant, its delicate layers yielding to a soft, buttery interior. This recipe brings that dream to life, crafting delightful croissants with a uniquely satisfying flavor and texture. The secret lies in a carefully balanced dough, where melted cheeses blend seamlessly with almond flour and egg.

The result is a surprisingly supple and workable dough that captures the essence of traditional croissant pastry. The preparation is straightforward. The cheeses are gently melted together, creating a smooth, creamy base.

This mixture is then combined with almond flour and a beaten egg, forming a dough that is both pliable and rich. After a brief chill, the dough is ready to be transformed. It's rolled out thinly, then carefully cut into triangles – the classic croissant shape.

Each triangle is then rolled up, creating those signature crescent curves. As they bake, these croissants transform, their surfaces turning a beautiful golden brown. The aroma that fills your kitchen is simply irresistible, a promise of the warm, buttery goodness to come.

Fresh from the oven, these croissants are a treat to behold. Their texture is a delightful contrast: a crisp, flaky exterior that gives way to a soft, tender interior. The flavor is subtly rich and satisfying.

These croissants are wonderful on their own, but they also serve as a versatile base for your culinary creativity. They can be stored in the freezer for later enjoyment. Reheating is simple, ensuring a warm, fresh-tasting croissant whenever you desire.

While the recipe focuses on a savory profile, a touch of powdered sweetener can be added for those who prefer a hint of sweetness. Feel free to experiment with different cheese variations to customize the flavor to your liking. Serve these warm, either plain or elevated with butter and your choice of fillings, such as sliced cheese or deli ham.

Whether enjoyed as a quick breakfast, a satisfying snack, or a delightful addition to a meal, these croissants are sure to impress.

    2 large

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave on high for 45 seconds. Stir the mixture and heat again for 30-45 seconds until the cheese is melted. Stir well to combine.
    2.
    Add in the almond flour and an egg that has been beaten. Stir well to combine. There should be no dry spots.
    3.
    Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to ⅛”. Place the two pieces of parchment paper with the dough in between onto a baking sheet. Chill for 10 minutes after rolling.
    4.
    Cut the dough into large triangles, as shown in the picture. Roll each triangle starting on the widest end towards the point. Place the croissants on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    5.
    If there is any leftover dough, you can reroll the dough as many times as you need. Cut the dough into a single triangle at a time to form more croissants. Repeat until there isn’t enough dough left.
    6.
    Brush them with egg wash (made by beating a whole egg and a pinch of salt). Bake for 20-21 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. These are best served warm from the oven.
