cheese croissant

Buttery layered pastry

A cheese croissant is a crescent-shaped pastry made from laminated dough with cheese baked inside or melted on top.

The flaky, buttery layers of the croissant pair with cheese—often gruyère, cheddar, or cream cheese—for a savory variation on the classic French pastry: I grabbed a cheese croissant and a coffee on my way to work.
