Warmed Croissant cut open and filled with bacon, mushrooms and if really decadent, popped back in the oven with Gruyere - yum !!😝
Hmmm a savoury approach which could only work with a croissant. Good thinking (y)

From the choices presented, it has to be a plain croissant but even that gets trumped by a simple baguette! 😋

We have a lovely thing up here called an Aberdeen Buttery, pronounced Ayberdeen. They are delicious. Butter and marmalade on them. They get called different things but that's what I know them as. First encountered them on holiday in Johnshaven on the East coast when I was a bairn.

They are delicious!

I put Tesco Three Fruit bitter sweet marmalade on my hot croissants. Marvellous!

It's a funny thing how our tastes differ. My standard brekky is toast and marmalade - never jam - but if I have an occasional croissant, it has to be strawberry or apricot jam - I've found marmalade and croissant just doesn't seem right to me!😁

A simple baguette - that reminds me. Back in the early 90s, I did a sponsored bike ride to Alencon. We were put up overnight in a girls' school in Sees (no, they were all on holiday, in case you were wondering!). Breakfast was provide - bowls of steaming hot chocolate, with fresh baguettes, buttered with apricot jam, for dunking. Great fuel for a day's ride!

A very occasional treat now, though😋

We do like the Almond one's, but we're not particularly fussy.

Feeling hungry now.. 🥐

Will you lot stop this please..........it’s becoming like the drip torture. ☹
First a thread about going to France for the first time and now breakfast treats.
Here we all are, locked down at home with the van sitting on the drive looking unloved. Drip,drip, drip........!
Roll on next year when we can, hopefully, all get back to those lovely places and I can get back to my favourite.........fresh warm croissants with peach jam. (y)
My mouth is watering at the thought. :france:

Erm.... All of them? :blusher:

We're terrible when we go into a boulangerie/patisserie. Always buy far too much as everything always looks so tempting.

I remember a school exchange trip where I was introduced to a breakfast of pain au chocolat dunked in a massive mug (more like a bowl) of hot chocolate - probably the youngsters version of the croissant dunked in coffee.

I occasionally treat myself to that now.

Almond croissant and custard flan favourites. Didn’t realise croissant originated in Austria,until I just looked it up, as a Kipferl.

In Portugal is has to be their Pastel de Nata (their version of egg custard but soooooooooo much better! Fortunately you can actually get these from Lidl in the UK now so we occasionally treat ourselves.

All of them! Croissants, Pains au chocolat (which are here called Chocolatines... big fight between North and South!)
But one I particularly love is the Jésuite

Je regret! Je N’ anime croissants - too fatty and too early ( dont eat breakfast) but can eat baguette butter and cheese every day when in France . Have been found wandering in withdrawal trance when back in Blighty , muttering to self ‘ from age ... du pain ‘ in a heartbroken way
