FAQs

While we love making egg boats with our croissants, you can enjoy them in a few tasty ways. A well-known way to enjoy them is to slice the croissant in half and fill it like a sandwich. Add scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon, or veggies and you’re set. You can also top a warm croissant with a fried or poached egg, use it as a base for croissant breakfast casseroles or brekky bakes.

Croissants are incredibly versatile. You can eat them plain, toasted with butter, or stuffed with sweet or savoury fillings. Popular ideas include croissant sandwiches, breakfast bakes, croissant pudding, ham and cheese melts, or even using them for a twist on French toast. They're perfect for both quick meals and creative recipes (or devoured straight out of the bag!).

Croissants can be filled with a variety of sweet or savoury ingredients. Popular sweet options include chocolate spread, almond cream, jam, or fresh berries with cream. For savoury fillings, favourites include ham and cheese, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon with cream cheese, or spinach and feta. The buttery, flaky texture of a croissant makes it perfect for both breakfast and lunch fillings.
