Instructions
 

  • Warm the croissants or baguette slices slightly in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes until just warmed through.

Notes

To make this feel more like a café, use your best dishes and cloth napkins. Serving the components separately, rather than pre-assembled, encourages a slower, more relaxed pace for your morning meal.
