# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The contrast between flaky buttery pastry and tangy creamy cheese hits every pleasure center at once
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes but looks like something from a French bakery
  • Perfect for those days when you want to eat something special without turning on the oven
02 -
  • Slicing apples paper thin is the difference between an elegant sandwich and something that falls apart when you bite it
  • Room temperature goat cheese spreads like a dream but cold cheese will rip your croissant apart, trust me on this
  • These do not keep well, so only assemble what you will eat right now
03 -
  • If your croissants are slightly stale, warm them at 350F for 3 minutes before assembling
  • The honey drizzle should be thin and spiderweb like, not a heavy pour that will make everything soggy
  • Slice your assembled sandwich diagonally for the most photogenic presentation
