Best Ways to Enjoy It
These sandwiches shine when served fresh and warm. Consider pairing them with a side of crispy hash browns or a fresh fruit salad for a complete meal. For drinks, you can’t go wrong with a rich cup of coffee or a refreshing mimosa! Presentation is key; consider serving these sandwiches on a rustic wooden board for that café-style vibe.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
If you happen to have any leftovers (though I’d be surprised!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and the croissant is once again delightfully flaky.
