Ingredients
Scale
Dairy
- 9 oz Icelandic Provisions Extra Creamy Honey & Apricot Skyr (2 containers, 4.4 oz each)
- Unsalted butter (amount as needed)
Bakery
- 6 croissants (preferably day old)
Other
- Honey (amount as desired for drizzling)
Instructions
- Flatten the croissants: Using a rolling pin, gently press down each day-old croissant to flatten it, creating more surface area for a crispy texture when cooked.
- Butter and honey coating: Spread unsalted butter evenly on one side of each flattened croissant, then drizzle honey generously over the buttered side to add sweetness and caramelize during cooking.
- Pan-sear the croissants: Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat, place the honey-buttered croissant side down and sear until golden brown. Flip the croissants and add a bit more butter to the pan, then cook the other side until also golden and crispy.
- Serve with skyr: Allow the croissants to cool slightly, then dip them into the creamy honey & apricot skyr for a rich and tangy contrast that complements the sweet, crispy croissants.
Notes
- Day-old croissants work best because they hold their shape better when flattened and seared.
- Adjust honey quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
- Use unsalted butter to control saltiness.
- This recipe is best served immediately for optimal crispiness.
