Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Store-bought croissant dough | 1 package (8 pieces) |
| Shredded Gruyère cheese | 1 cup |
| Cream cheese, softened | ½ cup |
| Fresh chives, finely chopped | 2 tbsp |
| Fresh parsley, finely chopped | 2 tbsp |
| Egg, beaten | 1 (for egg wash) |
| Salt | To taste |
| Black pepper | To taste |
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure your croissants bake evenly. Taking a moment to prepare the baking sheet now will save you from any messy surprises later.
2. Prepare the Herb and Cheese Filling
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded Gruyère cheese, softened cream cheese, chopped chives, and parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper. Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly blended. The filling should be rich, flavorful, and ready to melt beautifully inside the croissants.
Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or a little grated Parmesan.
3. Shape and Stuff the Croissants
Carefully unroll the croissant dough and separate it into individual triangles. Spoon about one tablespoon of the cheese-herb mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Be careful not to overfill—too much filling can leak out while baking.
