Elevated Pairing

  • 2 large Croissants
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 4 ounces Mascarpone Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 tablespoon Honey

Instructions
 

Simple Pairing

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), then place the croissants on a baking sheet and warm them for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden and flaky.
  • Carefully slice each warm croissant horizontally, then generously fill the croissants with fresh blueberries.
