Chili Fig Stuffed Croissant

Chili Fig Stuffed Croissant

INGREDIENTS


4 large eggs, beaten
1 c. whole milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
6 croissants
8 oz mascarpone cheese
3-4 tbsp butter
Brown sugar
Maple syrup
Whipped cream

INSTRUCTIONS


  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl combine the mascarpone cheese and chili fig spread. Add to a piping or ziplock bag.
  3. Take the croissants and using a sharp knife make a small one-inch hole on one side of the croissant to make a pocket to add the cheese and spread mixture.
  4. Squeeze two tablespoons of the cheese mixture into each croissant.
  5. Warm a pan over medium high heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Dip two of the croissants in the egg mixture, evenly coating each side. Allow excess mixture to drip off. 
  6. Place each croissant in the pan and cook until each side is lightly browned and crispy. Remove and repeat steps 5 and 6 with remaining croissants.
  7. Finish off croissants with a sprinkling of brown sugar, maple syrup, and whipped cream, to taste.
