That's what this morning felt like. Daughter gave me such a hard time getting out the door to school, that by the time I walked her there - then back - I wanted to relax and treat myself to a homemade breakfast. Today, work could wait.Croissants were already on hand, since I baked them a day or so ago. Ever try Trader Joe's mini croissants? They are in the frozen aisle, and you'd never expect to get this result from a frozen product. They are fabulous! While frozen, set out on a sheet before bedtime. By morning, they will have risen, tripling in size! Brush with egg (if you care to) then bake 15 mins! They are flaky and buttery, and better than any bakery I know in these parts.
They come 8 to a pack, but I don't make all 8 at once.
They are dee-lish with some raspberry preserves, and I've heard Nutella is the bomb too. But I needed a self-soothing mechanism this morning in the form of...le egg croissant!

That looks great. My favorite egg sandwiches are the one's with croissants
Where's my nickname!

Fantastic sandwich! Ever tried making Croissants yourself? Really easy! I followed Julia Child's recipe found on her 1963 TV series (I found the DVDs in our local library).
I will post a how-to video on my blog soon.
Cheers!

Probably the simplest, tastiest thing!
No I never tried BAKING croissants myself! Maybe you haven't heard that all my baking attempts end up in disaster, so I stick with cooking and leave the baking to the experts! I am accepted the fact that I. Simply. Cannot. Bake.
Nutella IS the bomb. I put it on everything. I even put it on Nutella. It's best on crepes with some banana slices. But it makes a great fluffernutter too, in place of peanut butter.
