This savoury crown, delightfully festive, blends the enchanting aromas of our mamas with the softness of croissants, the delicacy of almonds and prosciutto, and the irresistible flavour of onion confit. In just 40 minutes, it will take center stage at your holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
1 package of refrigerated croissant dough (8 croissants per pack)
5 to 6 slices of prosciutto
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 tablespoon chives, minced
For the almond cream with onion confit
1 cup almond flour
1 egg
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons onion confit
Salt and pepper, to taste
Steps
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the almond cream and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Unroll the croissant dough and divide it into 8 triangles. Arrange them in a circle on the baking sheet, placing the shorter side towards the center and the longer side towards the outer edge. The dough will slightly overlap in the center, forming a sun-like shape.
Place almond cream on half of each triangle closest to the center, then cover with a slice of prosciutto and a slice of tomato.
Fold each croissant end towards the center to form a crown shape.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and well cooked.
Remove from the oven and serve with a little extra onion confit, if desired.
