Crossiants

[Kab30]

Just been away for few days with the ladies and one of my besties spread butter and jam on top of the delicious bread .....I've never seen them eaten like that.....is that wierd??? How do you eat yours?? Xx

I do the same as your friend. Heated croissant, with butter and jam on top.

Learned how to do it in Belgium so it must be the correct way

I used warm them and then slice them open and stuff them with noodles.

I just cant get my head round putting anything on top ...you cut and spread surly ...unless you dunk mmmmmm....but to go on top oooooerrrr lol

How do I quote an answer please x

It's a pastry, but you can never have enough butter, and jam is just the cherry on the top of a beautifully fresh and warm croissant

When spanking fresh from local Co-op (the bakery section, NOT pre-packed) they are lovely eaten as soon as they are carried back from the shop, plus unsalted butter, with or without jam, and good coffee to drink. Favourite weekend breakfast.
But the next day (because you don’t just buy one) they’re ace when split, filled with sliced ham and cheese and warmed till cheese is gooey.

Noodles? Sounds revolting

I really want croissants now, and I only have bagels. If I did have croissants, I would pull off pieces and spread on jam before eating.

Cut and spread? Philistine. You have to tear and spread. Or dip.

Yeah it does but it was actually quite nice and I thought I was so inventive eating it when I was 17.

greenelephantscarf when do you ‘have to’? I genuinely can’t think of a situation when I have to eat a croissant?

I cut in half with jam but sometimes they can be a bitch to cut when hot so I have been known to half spread the cut bits but blob jam ontop of the end bits that just don’t behave.

Ooh, topical for me - this morning DD had a croissant for breakfast. She asked if she could have it with chocolate spread, and I said no as she was already having a hot chocolate (that's not the controversial bit!)...

She then said, "OK, then - I'll have it with peanut butter"

I despair!!

Warm, tear chunks off and lather with salted butter. Bliss.

Dribbling at the thought of a croissant with butter and jam. Will brave the snow tomorrow and get some. Have a jar of rose petal jam that needs eating up.

I like them torn with a dollop of marmalade on each chunk.

Sliced open and then warmed in oven. Butter and strawberry jam. DH also likes them with bacon cheese and sun blush tomatoes. In Canada I have had them filled with cheese and broccoli or ham and cheese

A croissant is almost half butter (or should be). They really are perfect as they are and need no accompaniment other than a hot drink!

On top of? Savage.

Jam and butter yes but half it first for God sake!

(Lighthearted)

Either dipped in thick hot chocolat. Or warmed then sliced with thick jambon. Maybe a slither if cheese. But usually dipped if plain

But Mere Danish pastries are made with a yeasted dough, albeit enriched with butter. I don’t think many people would class those as a bread. It’s not the use of yeast which determines if it’s a bread or a pastry. Several breads aren’t raised with yeast, eg soda bread or chappattis.
Anyway IMO croissants are a rich, yeasted pastry, while brioches are an enriched sweetened bread...and they’re all bloody lovely.
A rose by any other name etc etc.

Always with butter and jam.

Sliced in half and spread with Nutella.
