Ingredients

  • 25g butter
  • 70g cubed smoked pancetta
  • 1 finely sliced garlic clove
  • 250g halved chestnut mushrooms
  • 100ml dry white wine
  • 75ml double cream
  • the leaves of a few fresh thyme sprigs
  • 2 all-butter croissants.
  • 100g bite-size pieces of ripe Brie

Method: How to make pancetta and brie croissants

1. Melt 25g butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add 70g cubed smoked pancetta and cook for 3-4 minutes, until golden. Add 1 finely sliced garlic clove and 250g halved chestnut mushrooms, increase the heat and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just softened. Add 100ml dry white wine and bubble for a few minutes until evaporated. Reduce the heat, stir in 75ml double cream and the leaves of a few fresh thyme sprigs. Simmer for a few minutes until thickened. Season to taste.

2. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high. Split 2 all-butter croissants. Put on a baking tray, cut side up, and grill for 1 minute, until toasted. Set the tops aside. Spoon the creamy mushrooms onto each base, scatter with 100g bite-size pieces of ripe Brie, and grill for a further 2 minutes, until the Brie is melting. Assemble the croissants again and serve hot, scattered with extra fresh thyme sprigs.
