Description
At its core, this dish is a sophisticated take on the classic deli sandwich. However, calling it a sandwich almost feels like an understatement. Turkey and Apple Brie Croissants are baked assemblies of sliced turkey breast, tart apple wedges, and thick wedges of brie cheese, all nestled within a split croissant. Unlike a cold sandwich, these are briefly roasted in an oven to allow the cheese to soften into a velvet-like consistency while the pastry regains its crisp, bakery-fresh exterior.
