Meat Mince and Cheese Croissant – Delight Sweet
A hearty option filled with mine meat and cheese (often Gruyère) and baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
A Meat Mince and Cheese Croissant is a savory pastry that combines the buttery, flaky layers of a classic French croissant with a hearty filling of seasoned minced meat (typically ground beef) and melted cheese. It is a popular, indulgent, and savory, often served warm for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack.
Key Characteristics:
Pastry: Typically made from a rich, buttery, and flaky croissant or croissant dough (refrigerated dough is common for home versions) that turns golden brown and crispy when baked.
Filling: A mixture of seasoned ground lamb/beef (mince), often cooked with diced onions, minced garlic, and herbs (like thyme). Some variations may include vegetables, such as diced bell peppers.
Cheese: Gooey, melted cheese is added to the filling, with cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, or Gouda being common choices.
Flavor Profile: A combination of savory, salty, and rich, with the contrast of a crunchy exterior and a soft, molten interior.
Assembly & Serving: The meat mixture is often placed inside a split croissant or rolled inside crescent dough triangles before being baked. They are usually served warm, sometimes topped with an egg wash for a shiny finish or garnished with sesame seeds.
Variations: Some versions may include extra ingredients like, tomato, Worcestershire sauce, or chili, or use shredded beef instead of ground meat.
