Sweet & Savoury Filled Croissants

Updated 8 November 2022 Published 29 September 2012 46 Comments

JUMP TO RECIPE

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.

Ingredients

  • Marzipan
  • 1 Tin of Croissant dough (crescent rolls)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°C (or according to pack instructions)
  • Lay your croissant dough out and cut along serrations.
  • Put your chosen fillings on the dough and roll up towards the pointed end.
  • For the Cheese and Ham croissants sprinkle some cheese over the top
  • Bake for 10 – 15 minutes (or according to pack instructions).
  • For the sweet ones a dusting of icing sugar would be good.

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

    Is it okay to place croissants filled with ham & cheese in microwave.

      If it’s a croissant and not the dough then I’d say yes. I used to go to a lovely Italian cafe where they had a croissant style pastry filled with cheese sauce and ham and they would warm them up in the microwave before serving. It does make pastry more “sweaty” than if you heated in the oven though!

    I love croissants, if they’ve got a filling like this then all the better. I hadn’t thought of trying it myself – it’s a great idea. Thanks! I’d have to start off with ham & cheese (maybe brie..) but I’d try a bit of chilli or garlic in them at some point too I think 🙂

    Wow! Making your own croissants. That’s genius Camilla! Lovely way to start the day . Warm and crispy. When I lived in Paris , I used to have almond croissants for breakfast and they were just soooooo good. Not great for the waistline but delish nevertheless!

      Well, more customising my own croissants and saving a little money in the process. Thank you for your enthusiasm! I too love Almond Croissants and they are very naughty but very nice:-)

    Used this dough last week…. Been asked to make a supersize croissant for someone next week, now I can jazz it up a bit, great ideas!

      Looking at the photos, I think the trick is to keep the filling all down the end (like the marzipan ones) to allow the pastry layers to fluff up more. Also allow fillings to get nearer to room temperature before filling croissants. Chocolate would be a great one too! Oh, I’m going to have to buy some more!

      I don’t think I’d ever bought this dough before either but thought it would be good to have in the fridge and try to recreate croissants I’ve eaten out in the past!
