Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Optional: Brush the tops of croissants with a beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish.
-
Place stuffed croissants on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and tops are golden.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the oven; croissants bake quickly and you want them golden but not over-browned.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
-
Sprinkle with extra chopped chives or parsley for a fresh, vibrant touch.
-
Serve warm for brunch, lunch, or as a fancy snack.
Serving Suggestion: Pair with a fresh green salad, fruit salad, or a light soup for a complete meal.
