The ULTIMATE Croissant Sandwich!
I know, can I not just upload a regular sandwich to this blog? đQuite frankly I think the answer is a solid NO. Todays victim â the Croissant. Croissants tend to be stuffed with savoury ingredients (turkey, eggs, ham etc). I really wanted to put my own twist on these, and play on the balance of sweet and savoury. If youâve been a reader of mine for a while youâll have noticed I donât do sweets, this is generally about as sweet as it gets đ As such, weâve gone for the gorgeous combo of bacon, blackberry and brie. A cross between my Brie, Bacon and Cranberry Grilled Cheese and the Baked Brie and Blackberry Jam from my Ecookbook. Not convinced? Follow me đ
Blackberry Jam
Blackberry jam is actually incredibly quick and easy to make. And all you need is 3 ingredients:
Blackberries Sugar Lemon Juice Â
A lot of jams use pectin to thicken, but this is a much quicker, more rough and ready (but still insanely tasty) version! The berries naturally have pectin, which alongside a bit of acidity will set the jam enough to spread.
Can I use store bought jam?
If youâve already got some jam knocking about in the fridge that needs using then go for it! Cranberry Sauce and Caramelized Onions also go great as a sub!
Can I use frozen berries?
Yup! Just keep the heat very low in the first instance (without the sugar) just to thaw the berries, then continue as stated.

Stuffed Croissants
Youâre looking to get 4 large all butter croissants. If you can get them fresh out the bakery then awesome, but if not just invest in some good quality croissants (as they are the star of the show!). From there, just slice the croissant through the centre, making sure you leave some intact at the end to keep everything together. Stuff in your ingredients, folder over and pop in the oven. Placing them in the oven is really just to warm them through and melt the cheese, as theyâre already cooked.
And there we have it! Youâll never quite look at croissants the same again, but all for a good cause đ€Ł If youâre looking for more crazy sandwiches then check out these beauties:
