How to make

  1. Whether you choose a traditional croissant or a plant-based variety, pop it in the oven on a low heat for just 5 to 10 minutes to bring out its soft and fluffy texture.
  2. While it’s baking away, get started on the fillings. Crack an egg to scramble or fry, and add a couple of rashers of bacon to the pan. Make sure you check out our smoky varieties, and feel to add a light drizzle of honey or marmalade on the bacon for even more flavour.
  3. Take your pastries out the oven and give them a generous buttering before stacking up your mini fry-up inside. Top it off with a handful of your favourite salad leaves or some tomato slices (or not).
