Savory Croffles (Croissant Waffles)
These savory croffles are made with puff pastry, bacon, and cheese. I did a side-by-side comparison of croffles made with puffy pastry and crescent rolls, and the puff pastry was much flakier. See the blog post for the full breakdown with pictures.
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen puff pastry (or crescent roll)
- 3 bacon strips (or Spam or hotdogs)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- First, make sure your puff pastry is defrosted according to the package instructions.
- Chop the bacon into small ½-inch pieces
- Add the bacon to a nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook for 5-10 minutes until all the fat is rendered out and the bacon is brown and crispy.
- Preheat your waffle iron.
- Cut the sheet of puff pastry into 4 triangles.
- For each triangle, add some cheese and bacon. Roll from the wide end to the short end until you have a croissant. Place the croissant into the waffle iron.
- Place the croissant into the waffle iron and cook until it's golden brown. Enjoy!
Notes
