Secret Recipe Club, Sweet and Savory Stuffed Croissants
It’s Secret Recipe Club time again! This time I was assigned SteakNPotatoesKindaGurl. You can tell right away that Desiree is a fun loving, down to earth girl with a love for bacon [she signs off her posts with “peace and bacon grease”] I knew I was in good hands!
After perusing her recipe index, and drooling a lot trying to choose, I decided on her Grilled Cheese Croissant Sandwich
Desiree’s Grilled Cheese Croissant is stuffed with bacon, cheddar, apple slices and a mayo honey mustard with dried cranberries. She butters and cooks the croissant in a skillet, just like a grilled cheese sandwich!
I am not quite that brave so I chose to bake mine in foil instead, to shave a few calories~
I opted to make 2 versions, one like Desiree’s and another one with a different combo
One had Gouda, green apple, bacon, and honey mustard
After baking, the croissant was golden, warm and hard to resist~ the apples soften during baking and are a nice sweet balance to the tangy honey mustard and bacon
For option 2, fig jam replaced Desiree’s spread of mayo, mustard and cranberries, again to shave a few calories~ I also decided that bleu cheese would work better for me than cheddar, but I didn’t change the bacon!
Pears would be divine in this too
I actually made these one morning, and popped one in the oven when I came home for lunch, then baked the other one for a late supper later in the week. Not only were they delicious, it was so nice to have a ready made sandwich full of fresh ingredients to pop in the oven
This would be great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or a picnic! You could also assemble a bunch ahead of time and freeze, then just pop one in the oven whenever~

Both recipes look sinfully delicious! I once watched Paula Dean make a bread pudding with croissants too! Yum.
I love the idea of adding fruit to a sandwich and still need to try some fig jam:@)
These both look wonderful! Gotta get me some croissants!
ha! thanks Debbi!
I would be very happy to have any of the food shown. In fact, I’m off to the kitchen for a bite to eat because they made me realize I’m hungry!
I didn’t think croissants could get any better but both these sammies sound divine!
Thanks Deanna!
When you add the combination of bacon and a croissant, all of the other ingredients are a bonus…they both sound great!…
Thanks Shirley, I really enjoyed “my research!” 🙂
So many great ways to use a croissant – it would be hard to pick! 🙂
Thanks Jane!
This recipe is a keeper for me. I will be making this for a luncheon. Great fresh new idea. I actually like all the options here.
Have a great week.
Thank you Emily, I am so flattered! Croissants are pretty hard to resist!
Oh my…I’m craving a croissant sandwich now and I’ve sworn off bread for the next month…Love both of these combos Jenna but the fig preserves with apple, bacon and blue cheese really has me drooling!
