Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Croissant (30 minutes)

  • If using Délifrance Heritage Butter Croissant ready to bake, defrost for 15 minutes

  • Following defrosting, bake for 13 -15 minutes

2. Preparation (5 minutes)

  • While the croissant is baking;
  • Slice the mozzarella into thin pieces
  • Thinly slice the avocado and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent oxidation
  • Rinse and pat dry the spinach leaves and micro sprouts
  • Once the croissant has finished baking;
  • Slice the croissant in half horizontally

3. Assembly

  • Open the sliced croissant
  • Layer the bottom half with slices of mozzarella
  • Add a layer of fresh spinach leaves on top of the mozzarella
  • Arrange the sliced avocado over the spinach leaves
  • Sprinkle a handful of micro sprouts on top
  • Close the croissant with the top half
  • Serve immediately

Chef’s Tip: Customise Your Croissant

For an extra touch of flavour, you can add a light spread of pesto or hummus on the croissant before layering the ingredients.

Other optional toppings like sun-dried tomatoes or caramelized onions add depth of flavour.

Serving these beauties to the kids? You could easily remove the sprouts and use a mild spread such as mayonnaise to cater to their taste buds.
