Filled croissants, ready to eat or freeze
Yes you can freeze a croissant.
You can even fill it first! (See the hack below.)
As ever, when it comes to storing bread, there are only a few basic tips. And, as ever, we advocate for the winning attitude of GIVE-IT-A-GO!
When it comes to freezing croissants:
#1 bag it; freeze it
#2 pop it in the fridge overnight to defrost
#3 refresh it in the morning (into the oven for 5 minutes at 180°C)
Alternatively, you could put ham and cheese in it and shmush it in a sandwich press until the ham is hot, the cheese is melty and the croissant is flaking all over the bench.
#Reminder 1: fresh is best when freezing
#Reminder 2: baked goods don’t keep forever in the freezer. A couple of weeks, easy. Months, maybe. Years… yeah nah.
LUNCHBOX HACK
🥐 Make ahead filled croissants 🥐
You can make a weeks worth of filled croissants and freeze them for fast lunchboxes!
Just pop the croissants into a lunchbox straight from the freezer and they will defrost perfectly by lunch time.
Ham and cheese is a favourite but you can also mix it with chicken mayo salad or cream cheese and smoked salmon. You can add salad on the day to keep the greens fresh.
Use the freshest croissants for the best results 🤙
