Breakfast Croissants!

These tasty little breakfast croissants are the essence of adaptability. The original recipe is actually for the sweeter version, while the more savory version is based on what I had on hand. Original recipe is first then followed by my changes. You will need:

4 large croissants, split

1/2 cup cream cheese spread (from 8 oz container)

8 tsp cherry preserves (I actually used blackberry jam)

1/4 cup chocolate chips

1 tsp powdered sugar

1. Heat oven to 400. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.

2. On bottom half of each croissant, spread 2 Tbsp cream cheese and 2 tsp preserves; sprinkle with 1 Tbsp chocolate chips. Replace top half of croissants. Place on pan.

3. Bake uncovered 7 to 9 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, serve warm.

My savory version followed the same technique, but switched up the ingredients a little. I still used cream cheese, but then added shaved honey smoked turkey breast and sliced roasted red bell peppers, fully drained and patted dry. I also left the powdered sugar off of these. You could do a ton of different ingredients for this and I think it would still turn out great. You could even use a chive and onion flavored cream cheese for variety! Go wild and enjoy!
