Season 10 - Breakfast / S10B15
Puerto Rican Croissant with Guava Butter and Brie
Story
One lazy Sunday morning, Don Luis stood by the kitchen window, sipping café con leche ☕️ while watching the sunlight dance on the garden herbs. His granddaughter peeked into the kitchen, rubbing her eyes and asking, “Abuelito, can we have something *fancy* for breakfast?” He chuckled, already tying on his jean-and-leather apron with his name stitched proudly on the chest. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, Don Luis reached for the flaky croissants he bought from the panadería, a block of creamy brie, and a jar of sweet guava paste. He knew just the thing—a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth creation that would make any breakfast feel like a celebration on the island. 🌴🥰 Time & Details
Ingredients
- 4 buttery croissants 🥐
- 4 tbsp guava paste (or guava jelly) 🍯
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter 🧈
- 6 oz brie cheese, sliced (rind on or off) 🧀

- 4Spread the Guava Butter: Generously spread the warm guava butter on both sides of each croissant.
- 5Add the Brie: Place slices of brie inside the croissant. Let the warmth of the guava butter gently melt the cheese.
