With this recipe, I am stuffing the croissant with ham and cheese; however, you can add anything to eat. Let your culinary experience or your preferences decide. I have also done this recipe with grilled vegetables (i.e eggplant) and the mozzarella cheese for a vegetarian approach.
This recipe will make 6 dozen croissants.
Ingredients
4 cups Flour (All Purpose Flour)
1/4 tsp Salt
2 cups cold Butter
2 Eggs (separated yolk and whites)
1 1/3 cups Sour Cream
Ham
Mozzarella Cheese
Preparation
On the side, cut in butter until mixture is coarse crumbs. Do that on the food processor.
In a bowl, whisk yolks, and source cream.
Add crumb mixture to yolks and source cream.
Mix well.
Cover and refrigerate it.
Divide the dough into 6 pieces.
Roll each portion into a 10-inch circle
Cut 8 pieces out of the circle
On each piece, add a piece of ham and mozzarella cheese. You can actually use anything you may like in here.
Roll into croissant shapes.
Brush with egg whites.
Bake it for 18-20 minutes at 350F
Enjoy it
Buon Appetito!
