STUFFED CROISSANTS

Sunday mornings are meant to be easy, lazy and accompanied by really good breakfast. I first tried this stuffed croissant recipe from watching a YouTube video by Gordon Ramsay, and have since improvised it a little using the things that are more accessible in my house. It’s incredibly easy and doesn’t cause a fuss in the kitchen, but hugely satisfying.

With Ramadhan approaching I’m reminded that these are the things I like to eat in the early mornings. I treat sahur like I would a huge breakfast, and unfortunately I find that eating a load of rice/pasta makes me hungrier even faster, gives me a sugar low by 2 pm and frankly, doesn’t seem to be aligned with the whole theme of the month which is to eat better and more modestly.

This recipe makes 2 stuffed croissants.

What You Need:

2 Croissants, preferably stale ones
2-3 quality minced sausages, cut into quarters
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 dried chili, crumbled
1 tablespoon capers
0.5 cup chopped coriander, or as much as you like
Parmesan cheese
 
What You Do:

1. Drizzle some oil onto pan. Add garlic, dried chili and sausages.
2. After about 5-7 minutes, add capers.
3. Stir in the coriander.
4. Remove from pan. Cut the croissants lengthwise and toast them face down on the pan, soaking up all the sausage juices.
5. After 2 mins, remove croissants. Make a whole in the bottom half of the croissant.
6. Fill in with sausage mix. Top with Parmesan.
7. Put the other half of croissant on top.
8. Serve warm with a nice cup of tea.
