Notes

These croissants are best served warm and can be enjoyed just as they are or with a side of fresh fruit or a simple salad. You can also pair them with a cup of soup for a complete meal. If you have leftovers, let the croissants cool completely and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes.
