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.
