Dessert for Breakfast? Parmesan Chocolate Croissants !

Hi Guys !!!

Me, my parents and parents in law and my siblings... we all love sweets... We could be called a family with sweet tooth... correction...sweet dentures !!!

Desserts carry a lot of calories and can be unhealthy enough when consumed regularly. So, while experimenting few days ago for a low cal dessert and something which is not very sweet (my husband and my daughter do not love anything that is too sweet), i created these Croissants which can be good for anytime of the day... breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Lets get started then.

Gather your Equipment:

A baking Tray
A Bowl for kneading the dough

Ingredients:

1 Crescent Roll (I used the Pillsbury brand)
Or You can make Pizza Dough
3-4 Drops of Green food coloring
1/2 Cup of semi sweet Chocolate morsels
1/2 Cup of powdered Parmesan cheese


Preparing to start:

Let the Crescent Roll be refrigerated until final use. Spray the baking tray with cooking spray or grease with oil. Gather your other ingredients.

Method:

1. Open the crescent roll ,ad the food color and knead it for a minute or so to make it a little pliable. You may want to put some oil or butter on your hands to make it easier to work with this sticky roll. Remember the food color will only give you some soft streaks on the dough and not change the entire color of the dough.
2. Divide the dough into 10 equal parts and make them into balls.
3. Flatten each ball enough to fill with the stuffing and close it again like a ball.
4. Fill each with a teaspoon of parmesan cheese and 8-10 chocolate morsels (approximately a teaspoon of shredded chocolate).

1. Close them like dumplings and flatten a little with the help of your palm.
2. Put the prepared balls in the refrigerator while your oven preheats at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Arrange the Croissants on the prepared baking tray and bake for about 25 minutes or untill they become golden brown. Do keep an eye on them.

Remove from the oven and let them cool.

I hope, your home would be soon filled with the aroma of these Chocolate Parmesan Croissants ... and you would feel like in a French Patisserie ! But do not forget to share this delicacy with your friends and family... because food tastes delicious only when shared !

Love
