Butter croissant dough is folded around mozzarella and tomato, then baked so the pastry sets into a layered shell with a soft, slightly open crumb. Inside, the cheese turns melty while the tomato brings a bit of moisture and acidity to balance the richness of the laminated dough. It sits in the savoury pastry range alongside other filled croissants and breakfast items, using the same buttery layered dough as the plain version but with a simple cheese-and-vegetable filling. Expect a flaky exterior that shatters when you bite through, giving way to that warm, stretchy cheese centre. Best eaten fresh, while the pastry still has some crispness left.
