Love almond croissants? You’ll adore this luxurious brunch dish. It’s a great way to use up any leftover pastries, and you can serve it as dessert, too.
Ingredients:
- 4 croissants
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1/4 cup almond paste

- Olive oil for greasing
- 1 tsp cinnamon

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
2. Slice the croissants in half lengthwise and arrange them in the greased baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the raspberry jam, almond paste, softened butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

6. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of the croissants.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. Once done, remove the croissant bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
