Preparation Instructions

Au Beurre Croissants:

• Place frozen croissants 3 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheet and let thaw at room temperature for 8 hours. Preheat oven to 375°F. Make egg wash by stirring 1 egg with 1 tsp. water. Lightly brush egg wash over croissants. Bake until golden brown, about 17–20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Chocolate Croissants:

• Place frozen croissants 3 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheet and let thaw at room temperature for 8 hours. Preheat oven to 375°F. Make egg wash by stirring 1 egg with 1 tsp. water.

• Using a serrated knife, slice croissants in half horizontally. In small saucepan, heat 1 cup sugar in 1 cup water (optional addition: 1/2 teaspoon orange rind or a drop of orange liqueur). Simmer and stir for 1 minute until sugar dissolves. Cool to room temperature. Dip each croissant, on both sides, into syrup.
• On parchment-lined baking sheet, spread 2 Tbsp. almond filling on bottom half of each croissant. Place other halves on top and spread 1 Tbsp. almond filling over each. Sprinkle each croissant with sliced almonds. (Leftover almond cream can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.)
