There’s something utterly magical about wandering the aisles of Whole Foods, especially when it leads you to the treasure trove of their frozen croissants. These buttery, flaky delights have become a staple in my weekly shopping, transforming my mornings from mundane to magnificent. Each croissant, with its layers of dough and butter, bakes into an impressively large, golden-brown masterpiece. It’s almost a sin to cut into them, fearing the loss of any flaky goodness.
But my adoration for these croissants has pushed me to innovate beyond the basic chicken salad sandwich. I’ve ventured into both sweet and savory realms, discovering ways to amplify the inherent decadence of these pastries. Here are some ideas to take your Whole Foods frozen croissants from simple to sublime.
Savory Elevation: Beyond the Sandwich
1. Croissant Salmon and Capers
Layer with smoked salmon, lemon, cream cheese with herbs, and capers.
2. Croissant with Herbal cheese and radish
Layer with Boursin cheese and top with thinly sliced radishes
3. Brie, Apple, and Honey Croissant
A combination of melted brie cheese, thinly sliced apples, and a drizzle of honey inside a warm croissant creates a harmony of flavors that’s both sophisticated and comforting.
4. Chocolate Banana Stuffed Croissants
Slice open a croissant and fill it with slices of banana and chunks of dark chocolate. Bake until the chocolate melts into the banana, creating a decadent dessert that’s irresistibly gooey and rich.
5. Berry stuffed Croissants
Add berries of your choose with yummy pastry cream and chocolate drizzled over the croissant.
6. Pimento stuffed Croissants
I’m a southern girl so Palmetto Cheese is my go-to here.
Sweet Berry Croissants
The pastry cream is a yummy treat that I found myself sampling repeatedly. I purchased it on Amazon and it was a simply easy to make in minutes.
- Prep Time: 30
- Cook Time: 15
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
- Method: Bake
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 4 Frozen Croissants
- 1 cup of pastry cream
- 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup of fresh sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup of cold milk
- 1 Tbsp of melted chocolate
Instructions
- Bake the croissants for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown; let cool to room temperature once baked.
- Mix the pastry cream as directed on the box. You will need milk. The mix will not need any extra flavoring; it’s vanilla flavored and will need to chill for about 20-30 minutes.
- Slice the strawberries thinly.
- Once cooled to room temp, cut open the croissants with a serrated knife.
- Layer the croissant with cream pastry and layer both the strawberries and raspberries on top.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave gently by heating and stirring it every 10-15 secs. Once melted, take a fork and drizzle the chocolate over the top of the croissant.
- Garnish with left over berries and serve.
