A jam croissant with vanilla creme fraiche is what you make when you want something a little fancy in under 10 minutes. Flaky, toasted croissant layered with jam and vanilla creme fraiche, is the perfect quick & easy breakfast or sweet treat.

Ingredients

1 croissant

A few tsp of jams - I used two types: strawberry and apricot jam

1 tbsp passionfruit curd / or other curd - (optional)

200ml creme fraiche

1 tbsp vanilla bean paste

1 tbsp maple syrup

Lavender or other edible flowers (optional)

Instructions

Pe heat grill/broiler on high heat. Slice the croissant in half to make two open pieces, toast cut side up until lightly toasted.
Add creme fraiche, vanilla bean paste and maple syrup to a bowl, stir to combine, then add to a piping bag (your choice of nozzle / no nozzle). Note a piping bag is totally optional.
Pipe the creme fraiche (or spread with a knife) onto the croissant halves.
Add a couple dollops of the jams and curd onto the creme fraiche and ripple slightly.
Top with edible flowers (optional).
