Cooking Tips:

    • Prevent Soggy Filling: Cook the spinach on high heat to evaporate excess moisture before mixing with the cheese.

  • Olive Oil: A good source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

Dietary Information:

    • Vegetarian-Friendly: Ensure all cheeses are suitable for vegetarians.

Storage Tips:

    • Refrigerate Leftovers: Store any leftover croissants in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
