Why have boring croissants when you can upgrade your breakfast to Croissant Supreme Swirls, this is a simple recipe to make the viral popular Croissant Swirls seen popping up at bakeries across the world. I love them filled with a mixture of delicious breakfast spreads, pistachio cream, Nutella and cherry jam.
I used a good quality shop bought all butter puff pastry to get the deliciously flakey texture of the richest croissants. Using metal food rings to keep their shape and using another baking tin on top of the rings, will control the rise of the pastries to keep them in a nice tight swirl.
You can use your favourite breakfast spreads as a filling, not a fan of cherry jam, then mix it up with apricot jam, or a mixed berry compote. There are so many different chocolate spreads out there other than Nutella so go wild and try them all out!
This recipe will definitely get the day started the right way.
