This Apple & Goat Cheese Croissant Sandwich is a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a light breakfast or lunch. The buttery croissants are filled with creamy goat cheese mixed with honey and cinnamon, layered with thinly sliced crisp apples and optional fresh arugula, then gently warmed in the oven for a comforting and tasty treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich

  • 2 Croissants
  • 1 medium Apple, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz Goat Cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • Fresh Arugula (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for warming the assembled sandwiches.
  2. Slice Croissants: Carefully slice the croissants in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom piece for each sandwich.
  3. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened goat cheese, honey, and cinnamon, mixing until smooth and well blended.
  4. Spread Cheese: Evenly spread the goat cheese mixture over the bottom half of each croissant.
  5. Add Apple Slices: Layer the thinly sliced apples on top of the goat cheese spread for a crisp texture and sweet flavor.
  6. Add Arugula (Optional): If desired, add a handful of fresh arugula on top of the apples for a peppery bite and fresh green contrast.
  7. Assemble Sandwich: Place the top halves of the croissants over the fillings to complete each sandwich.
  8. Warm Sandwiches: Arrange the sandwiches on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for about 5 to 7 minutes until heated through and slightly toasted.
  9. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the sandwiches warm to fully enjoy the creamy, sweet, and fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Use crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor contrast.
  • Softened goat cheese mixes more easily with the honey and cinnamon for smooth spreading.
  • The arugula adds a nice peppery note but can be omitted or substituted with spinach if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, substitute croissants with a plant-based option and use a vegan cheese spread.
  • These sandwiches are best served fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven for a few minutes if needed.
