Heritage Recipe

Croissant Souffle

A lovely, light combination of rich croissant with delicate vanilla or orange flavors enhancing the eggs. We always use free-range eggs for added nutritional value and flavor.

Ingredients

2 large croissants, cut into top and bottom halves

1 Tablespoon vanilla extract (or pure orange marmalade)

4 large eggs

1/2 cup light cream

Garnish: Fresh orange slices, strawberries with a dollop of yogurt, or caramelized apples (in the Fall)

Whisk together eggs, cream, and flavoring until light and fluffy. Place cut up croissants in the egg mixture and let sit for 10 minutes. Prepare individual 6-inch souffle pans with a light coating of olive oil and heat on the stove. When pans are hot, add eggy croissants to the pan and fry until lightly browned on one side. Turn with spatula and continue to brown the other side; cover with lid for a short time. The croissants will puff up nicely. Very quickly place the croissants on a serving dish sprinkled with powder sugar and garnish of your choice.

Serves: 2
