Ingredients

8 mini croissants

1 tablespoon strawberry jam

250 gram strawberries, sliced

1 tablespoon caster sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup (60ml) milk

1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

40 gram butter

icing sugar, to serve

whole strawberries, to serve

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 150°C (130°C fan-forced). With a sharp knife, carefully cut open the inside edge of each croissant to make a pocket, leaving 1cm at each end. Spread strawberry jam in the pocket; fill with sliced strawberries. Repeat with remaining croissants.

2.Place sugar, egg, milk and vanilla in a large bowl; whisk until combined.

3.Heat half of the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. When the butter is sizzling, dip four filled croissants in the milk mixture. Place the croissants in the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove from pan. Place on a wire rack over a baking tray. Place in the oven to keep warm.

4.Repeat with the remaining butter, croissants and milk mixture. Serve croissants dusted with sifted icing sugar and strawberries, if desired.
