Ingredients
Croissants: 4 large, fresh
Ricotta Cheese: 1 cup
Blueberries: 1/2 cup, fresh
Egg: 1 large, beaten
Honey: 2 tbsp
Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp
Powdered Sugar: Optional, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, and half of the blueberries. Stir gently until well combined.
Prepare Your Croissants: Cut each croissant in half lengthwise, creating a pocket for the filling. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Assemble the Dish: Spoon the ricotta mixture into each croissant, then add the remaining blueberries on top of the filling.
Cook to Perfection: Place the filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg, which will give them a beautiful golden finish. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
Finishing Touches: While the croissants are baking, warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the croissants are out of the oven, drizzle the warm honey over the top.
Serve and Enjoy: Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
If you prefer a firmer quiche, you can add a tablespoon of gluten-free flour to the egg mixture to help it set more firmly.
For extra flavor, consider adding a few tablespoons of sautéed onions or mushrooms to the spinach mixture.
If you like your quiche with a crispy top, broil it for the last 2 minutes of baking.
