Croissant or “Cornetti” as we call it in Italy, are a staple of Italian breakfast. In every Italian bar, the morning starts with a large crowd holding a cappuccino in one hand and a cornetto in the other one.

But the recipe that I have for you today ..is another story…

Today, I have prepared for you delicious savoury croissants which is not exactly the same as a “cornetto”. The main difference is that these croissants have many different layers.

This recipe is very easy and it’s the perfect snack with tea! All you need is a sheet of puff pastry filled with a Country Tomato Sauce, fresh basil,  Black Olives, cheese and Sundried Tomatoes. 

So what are you waiting for? Just turn on the oven and bake my super easy and yummy recipe, let’s try my:
