Description

With a pinch of salt, and a handful of love

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 4 regular size croissants (a few days old), split in half
  • 1-2 tbs grapeseed oil
  • Smoked salmon or trout
  • For the raspberry chia seed jam:
  • 2 cups frozen or fresh raspberries
  • 1 tbs honey
  • 2 tbs chia seeds
  • For the sweet mascarpone filling:
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese, store-bought or homemade (instructions below)
  • 1 tbs honey
  • zest of 1-2 lemons
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • For the savory mascarpone filling:
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • pinch of salt
  • 2-3 tbs chopped chives (fresh dill is great too)
  • For the homemade mascarpone cheese:
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tbs fresh lemon juice

Directions

  • To make homemade mascarpone cheese: Pour the heavey cream in a saucepan, and slowly bring to a low simmer (180 °F). Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes over low heat, then add the fresh lemon juice, and simmer for another 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool off to room temperature. It will thicken slightly but will not curd. Line a strainer with 4 layers of cheesecloth and place over a bowl. Pour the cream in the strainer, tie the ends of the cheesecloth together, and cover with plastic wrap. Leave in the fridge overnight for a softer mascarpone cheese, or longer for a harder consistency.
  • Start by making the quick raspberry chia jam first: Add frozen or fresh raspberries to a small saucepan, and gently heat, until the fruit has barely warmed up and broken down a bit. Off heat, add the honey, and chia seeds, stir, and leave for an hour or more to thicken. Alternatively, if you dont want to wait that long, use as a sauce.
  • Make the mascarpone filling next: Mix 1 cup mascarpone cheese, with the zest of 2 large lemons. Divide the mix in half. Add the honey, and vanilla to one half and mix well. Adjust the sweetness and add more zest if needed. Add the chives (dill), salt and pepper to the other half.
  • Make the croissant French toast: Beat the eggs and milk in a bowl, then dip the croissant halves in the mix. Heat 2-3 tbs of oil and gently toast the halves, turning over after a minute or so.
  • Assemble the French toast: Top each croissant half with 1 tbs of the mascarpone filling of choice (sweet or savory). Add the stuffing of choice (smoked salmon or raspberry jam), and press the two halves together.
