Imagine that a croissant and a waffle meet and decide to join forces to create something new. Thus was born, in South Korea, the Croffle, which in a short time became a worldwide phenomenon. Its name is the combination of croissant + waffle, and its taste... simply addictive. What exactly is the recipe? Very easy: we take a croissant, open it and fill it with something delicious; in this case, fig jam and goat cheese. Then, we cook it in a waffle iron until it is very crispy and the cheese is very melted. For the final touch, we add Iberian ham or prosciutto, arugula and a little fresh basil. The best part? You don't need complicated techniques or strange utensils. If you don't have a waffle iron, don't worry, a traditional sandwich maker or a toaster will give you the same result. Perfect for a different breakfast, a quick dinner or that brunch with the desire to impress without complicating your life. So now you know, if you have a croissant that has become hard, remember this recipe. Ridiculously easy. Deliciously different. And ready in less time than it takes your mother to ask you what a croffle is.
