Sometimes the simplest things in life are the best and these sweet melted croissant paninis are a mouth watering example of that! You can make the croissant dough from scratch (My Recipe: http://bit.ly/298bsWk) or go grab a few inexpensive croissants at the local grocery bakery and have at it! Nut butters, chocolate spreads, jams, fruit, cookies, or really anything that’s sweet, can be put between a croissant and toasted to perfection…almost anything! Try this out with different variations of flavors and comment below letting me know what you made! I may have to recreate it on my channel and blog!
I started by halving a few fresh croissants.
Beginning with the “Almond Butter and Banana Brûlée Panini,” spread a generous portion of salted almond butter on both sides of a halved croissant.
Top with sliced bananas…
…and a sprinkle of brown sugar.
Lastly,brûlée the sugar with a kitchen torch or oven broiler.
Sandwich the halves, and set aside until ready to press.
Next up, the “Strawberry and Nutella Panini.” Start by spreading a few spoonfuls of nutella on both sides of a halved croissant.
Top with a handful of sliced strawberries…
…and a hearty sprinkle of walnuts. They add a nice crunch!
Close both halves together and set aside.
Last up—the S’mores Panini! Starting with a croissant base, spread several dollops of whipped marshmallow over each half.
Add a handful of chopped dark chocolate…
…and top with two halved graham crackers.
Sandwich the halves.
Once all of your paninis are assembled, pre-heat your press to medium-high.
Close the paninis in the press and cook 4-5 minutes…
…or until they are golden brown.
Give them a quick slice…
…and dig in while they’re warm!
