Season 04 - Breakfast / S04B11
Guava and Cheese Croissants
Story
As Don Luis carefully folded the buttery croissant dough, he reminisced about his childhood, when the scent of fresh pastries filled the air. “There’s nothing quite like the combination of sweet guava and creamy cheese,” he said, spreading the rich filling before rolling each croissant to perfection. A golden, flaky crust, a warm, gooey center—this is the kind of breakfast that brings joy with every bite! Let’s make these Guava and Cheese Croissants the Don Luis way! 🥐🔥 Prep & Cook Time
