Notes
- The filling in this croissant sandwich is what makes it so special. So make sure to use fresh ingredients.
- To get the best result possible, don't prepare this sandwich with fresh straight-from-the-oven croissants. They better be at room temperature before cutting and filling them.
- If you don't have spinach or arugula at home, don't worry you can just use some fresh lettuce.
- Don't prepare these sandwiches a day before. They are better be served fresh. However, if you choose to prepare them ahead of time, store them properly in the fridge without the sauce. Then, add the sauce just before eating to avoid getting them soggy.
- When it comes to cheese, you can use any kind of mozzarella, whether it is thinly sliced or pearls shaped, it will not change much. But, if you don't have this cheese available, then you are free to substitute it with ricotta or goat cheese.
