Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 2 pieces Croissants Use fresh, high-quality croissants for the best texture.
  • 4 ounces Goat Cheese Rich and creamy; substitute with cream cheese for a milder flavor or cheddar for something sharper.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Adds a touch of sweetness; can be omitted or swapped with maple syrup if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Enhances the flavor depth; optional, but recommended for a hint of warmth.
  • 1 cup Apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith) Provide a balance of sweetness and tartness; feel free to choose your favorite variety.
  • 1 cup Arugula Optional; offers a peppery crunch; spinach can work as an alternative.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • Serrated Knife
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment, including a baking sheet and a serrated knife for slicing.
  2. Carefully slice each croissant in half horizontally using the serrated knife to create a pocket for the filling.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened goat cheese, honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Mix until they’re creamy and well blended. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach desired consistency.
  4. Spread the goat cheese mixture on the bottom half of each croissant. Layer on fresh apple slices, and add arugula on top if using. Cap with the top half of the croissant.
  5. Place the assembled sandwiches on the baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and edges begin to turn golden brown.
  6. Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving. Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad.

Notes
