This is not so much a recipe but just a simple way of jazzing up a plain croissant dough. Having woken up late today it was nearer to lunch time than breakfast so I decided that it was the perfect opportunity to try out my idea for Cheese and Ham and Almond Croissants. What could be nicer for a spot of brunch or even a packed lunch?
My children wolfed down the Cheese and Ham Croissants and even had a splodge of ketchup to go with them. It was only myself and my husband who liked the Almond Croissants though! The possibilities are endless so I hope I’ve inspired you to have a go with your own fillings!
The photos aren’t great as everyone just wanted to eat them so it was a case of shoot and go!
Savoury Filling: Small strip of ham and grated Emmental
Sweet filling: Strip of marzipan
Roll the croissant dough up towards the point. Top savoury ones with grated cheese.

Nice recipe, but try adding sundried tomato and some chopped onion soaked in a little olive oil as well.
