To eat croissant with butter?

[novocaned]

We’re in France and I’m enjoying a wee swipe of butter on my morning croissant. I KNOW they’re made with a shit ton of butter already but I just think an extra bit of salty creamy French butter takes it over the top. DH muttering about heart attacks as he nibbles his poor man’s breakfast. Who IBU?

There is no joy in a croissant without a good smear of delicious salty butter on top.

No jam as well?

Definitely butter and jam!

Do what you want 😆

Jam only, you monster.

Another vote for butter AND Jam here!!

Who spends their time on holiday asking mumsnet what they should eat for breakfast?

You definitely need jam to go with the lovely salty butter.

Always butter & jam. And warmed croissant so the butter melts……now I’m craving one!

Mmm, going to France next week and you’ve made me look forward to it even more.

any particular butter brand you’d recommend? Or are they all nice and salty?

Eat what you like. It's your body.

Couldn't stand it, they're buttery enough as they are! Butter on top would make me feel sick.

But I love toast with tons of butter and scones with an unreasonable amount of jam and cream. It's just preference!

There's something about croissants in France that makes them extra delicious on their own, but back home definitely butter and jam, preferably raspberry.

Butter and apricot jam!

Butter and jam obviously

YANBU. I can't wait to get to France next month and plan to exist on baked goods, butter and cheese almost exclusively.

Butter and honey in this house, croissant warmed up so the butter melts.

Bacon and cheese here......I'll get my coat 😄

Of course butter.

Not my taste (I prefer them plain or with a bit of jam) but you do you, OP.

Enjoy your breakfast.

Butter and strawberry jam every time.

I like them with ham and cheese, no butter.

Ham and cheese croissant every time

You need 2. The first with butter and cheese the second with butter and jam.

Ham and cheese obvs. Not butter on a proper one, just on the cheap ones that don't already come full of the stuff
