Do you know the movie “La Boum” with Sophie Marceau? I’ve seen it the first time like 20 years ago and I still love it. I remember a sene in a second part, where Sophie Marceau was sitting in a train with her grandmother, eating a croissant and drinking coffee. That was when I’ve discovered my favorite breakfast – coffee and the croissant. Years passed, taste changed, but not this. I still love it and had it like hundrets of times on my way to work. Actually it makes me feel great about a morning, so whenever I feel a little bit down, this is what I should eat.
Today I’ve made a special treat for myself – my own mini coissants. I used a frozen puff pastry, but I’m still very proud of myself. There’s a delicious stuffing inside, what creates an unique taste, and it’s not difficult at all. I’d suggest to make it on weekends, as it takes time to cool the onion mix, then refrigerate it and a baking proces takes only 20 minutes. Besides it’s so nice to sit comfortably and eat a sitll warm croissant with your morning coffee.
You will need (for 10):
- 20g butter
- 2 small onions, finely chopped
- 6 pitted black olives, sliced
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
- salt and pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
Put the croissants to the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 200*C. Brush each croissant with the beaten egg, place them on a baking tray covered with a baking paper. Bake for 20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Enjoy, Marta

great! let me know if you liked it 🙂
I always have puffed pastry because I love how easy it is to quickly make something delicious with it. This is such a GREAT idea. I’m in love with this mini croissants. This will be my summer kitchen project with my kids. Thanks for the idea!
-
I’m so happy you like it . You can always put some fruits inside for kids 🙂
Those adorable little croissants look ridiculously cute! I’ve actually never tried making my own before, either “fresh” or from ready-made dough!I know what you mean though – a croissant and a coffee is a fantastic breakfast, but the croissant has to be good! If it’s a bad one then it’s just a big disappointment!
-
I totally agree, it happened to me once or twice, I’ve seen it somewhere and bought one and it was such a disappointment. So nowadays I buy it only in places I know or make it 🙂
They are adorable…and the stuffing inside looks so delicious! At a party, I would head straight to them.
-
It was a very nice connection of flavors in the stuffing, worth trying 🙂
I love your story about eating the croissant with coffee for breakfast and how it can totally make your day. I think that’s so neat[: These stuffed croissants look incredible. I never thought about putting something inside them, but really it’s a perfect idea! And they’re so mini too, it’s adorable.
-
I love the size, it’s perfect for a bite or two. And you don’t feel guilty when you eat 2 or 3, because it’s so petit 🙂
A great idea! Those must taste wonderful. Perfect with a glass of white.Cheers,Rosa
-
I always wanted to have a glass of white with my breakfast, so why not!
i see sweet stuffed croissants around all the time but rarely savory ones! Love this!
-
Thank you Joanne. Actually my next try will be with sweets one. I think it must be very interesting as well.
What an amazing idea! I love the thought of baked in filling!
-
Thank you Jenny, croissants itself are lovely as well, worth trying, as it’s not a complicated recipe 🙂
Sounds wonderful, only I would probably eat about 10 of them! But I guess that’s legal as they’re quite small, right?
-
sure, it’s like porridge 😉
Your stuffing for the croissants is wonderful and I like it very much. Wonderful stepwise pictures.
-
Thank you 🙂
They are so cute and small, but tasty:) These would be good with almost any filling.. I’m thinking feta and kale… mostly because I’m trying to incorporate more kale into my recipes:)
-
Yes, it will go very well. I will try ones with feta and kale as well.
I don’t know the movie but I can see why you’d love that scene. Croissants and coffee say perfect breakfast to me, too! Your croissants look delicious!
-
The movie is very old and french, so not well known. But I’m glad that you agree with me on a perfect breakfast subject 🙂
Croissants are great, and you can’t beat them hot out of the oven! Making your own puff pastry is a pain, and there are some really good frozen ones available, so that’s what I use, too. Nice post! Thanks.
-
Life should be easy, so let’s make it easier from time to time 🙂
This kind of reminds me of making dumplings with my parents…but these croissants are so pretty 🙂
-
I love dumplings as well, especially the ones with fruits or white cheese inside. yummy!
This looks amazing. And puff pastry? Why I have I never thought of that. Love that idea!
-
Thank you Cassie 🙂 and yes, it is so easy, why not trying.
Those look yummy! I never thought of using puff pastry for something like that. And I’ve never seen that movie but I’ll go check it out now.Yesterday we went out to lunch at an Italian place in Prenzlauer Berg called Cotto e Cruso. I got the lasagna and it was the best lasagna I’ve ever ordered in a restaurant (it was the kind without Bechamel sauce, which I was really happy about!). My husband got something else and loved it too and we’ll definitely be going back! It’s also pretty cheap. I think 5.90 for the lasagna and 6.90 for a huge bowl of pasta. It seems to be run by a Sicilian man, his German wife, and all the recipes were approved/made/I’m not really sure by his Sicilian mother. I just had to tell someone! I thought you might appreciate it since you’re new here. 🙂
-
This is a nice recommendation. If it was the best lasagna you’ve ever had, I’ll go there for sure! Thank you so much!!! I’m always very excited about new places, especially the recommended ones.
-
Well, it was the best I’ve ordered in a restaurant. 🙂 I really, really like mine and this is a close second! I hope you like the restaurant if you try it. It has really high reviews! It’s the #1 Italian place in Prenzlauer Berg on Qype so that should count for something. 🙂
-
What a fabulous idea for a croissant!
-
Thank you Katrina 🙂
These look absolutely delish, I have only ever put chocolate into croissant but I loooove olives,definately going to give this a whirl 🙂
