This is what I ate for breakfast this time last week.
Wonderfully flakey and incredibly buttery served with a large dollop of local raspberry jam and butter. Delicious although rather fattening but hey, when in Rome…(or make that France!)
This week I am back to normal and eating Slimming World friendly meals so certainly have not been eating croissants. Instead I had strawberries with yogurt and a tsp of honey for breakfast – equally as yummy but not quite so fattening!
If you are after a treat for breakfast, croissants are the only way! Check out a recipe here. If you do not have the time or inclination to go to the effort of making croissants from scratch, pop down to your local patisserie!
Ooooh, so good! My favorite croissant breakfast when I was in France was pain au chocolat, which I think I ate pretty much every morning because there just happened to be an excellent patisserie between our dormitory and the building where we had our classes.
(We also enjoyed the late-night offerings of the crepe stand and kebab stand that were just a few doors down from where we stayed. Magic….)
Pain au chocolat is amazing too! Must admit I had a few of those too….
