Flat Croissant with Nutella and Berries
Ingredients:
2 large croissants (day-old works best)
4 tablespoons Nutella
1/2 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
1 tablespoon butter (optional, for toasting)
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Flatten the Croissants:
Begin by cutting your croissants in half lengthwise, as if making a sandwich.
Place each half flat on a cutting board and gently press them with your hand or a rolling pin until they’re about half their original thickness. This will give them a flat, crispy surface after toasting.
Toast the Croissants:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. You can either dry-toast the croissants or add a small dab of butter for extra richness.
Place the flattened croissant halves in the pan and toast for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread the Nutella:
While the croissants are still warm, generously spread a layer of Nutella over each toasted half. The warmth will help the Nutella melt slightly, making it easier to spread and extra indulgent.
Add the Berries:
Top each Nutella-covered croissant with fresh berries. Feel free to get creative with your berry mix. Slice larger berries like strawberries into thin pieces for easier layering.
Garnish (Optional):
For a touch of elegance, sprinkle a dusting of powdered sugar over the croissants. Add a few fresh mint leaves on top for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve:
Serve immediately while the croissants are warm and the Nutella is still gooey. These flat croissants are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert!
