Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 | sausages |
| 2 | tablespoons olive oil |
| 12 | plum tomatoes |
| 1 | cup cherry tomatoes |
| 2 | tablespoons crème fraîche |
| 4 | croissants |
| 100 g | Emmental cheese, grated |

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (425°F) to ensure it’s hot enough to melt the cheese and crisp the croissants perfectly.
-
-
Prepare the Sausage: Split the sausages open and squeeze out the meat from the casings, discarding the skins for a cleaner mixture.
-
Cook the Sausage: In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then crumble in the sausage meat. Cook this for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it turns a lovely golden brown and slightly crispy.
-
Add Tomatoes: Halve the plum and cherry tomatoes, then add them to the pan. Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes start to wilt and soften.
-
Season and Thicken: Sprinkle in the chili flakes and stir over the heat for about 1 minute. Then, add the crème fraîche, allowing it to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture thickens beautifully.
-
Prepare the Croissants: Make a split down the center of each croissant to create a pocket for the filling.
-
Mix with Cheese: Stir 2/3 of the grated Emmental cheese into the sausage and tomato mixture. Divide this filling among the prepared croissants, generously stuffing each one.
-
Bake: Place the filled croissants on a baking tray and sprinkle the remaining Emmental cheese over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until they are heated through and the cheese is bubbling and golden.
-
Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the croissants from the oven, garnish with torn pieces of flat-leaf parsley, and serve them hot or warm for the best experience.
Indulge in these delightful croissants for a satisfying meal that combines savory flavors with a touch of elegance, sure to impress anyone at your table!
