Mmm, what better thing to eat for breakfast than a good ol’ pastry? Not the healthiest option – true, but we can all cheat on our diets every once in a while. We definitely have a week spot for a croissant – and fun fact: The original croissant was called Kipfel and originated in Austria in 1683. Since its creation, the croissant has been made in many different flavors. From sweet to savory – here is our list of croissant flavors that we love.
We can’t start this list off without mentioning chocolate croissants. Legend has it that Marie-Antoinette introduced the croissant to France, but croissants and pains au chocolat are a relatively modern invention. Whoever invented them was a genius and we love them for it!
Plain old cheese croissants can get a little boring – get you some protein in that snack! Turkey and cheese go great together in almost anything, so it is no surprise that this savory treat is absolutely scrumptious.
Fun fact: almond croissants were originally developed as a way to rescue day-old croissants. These sweet-flavored croissants are puffy, crispy, and topped off with almond shavings and powdered sugar. A lovely light treats.
No one expects ice-cold gelato to ooze out when they bite into a croissant, so this filling gets extra points for its surprise factor. Simply slice a croissant in half and hide a scoop or two inside, then immediately serve and watch guests go crazy with delight – absolutely delicious!
