This recipe is quick and simple to prepare, requiring only a few ingredients. The almond bits add a crunchy texture and a delightful toasted flavor. You can also modify the recipe to suit your taste or based on the ingredients you have on hand: swap chestnut cream for jam, and almonds for walnuts, hazelnuts, or peanuts.
Ingredients
– **For 16 pieces:**
– Puff pastry: 1 sheet
– Chestnut cream: 150 g
– Almond bits (50+50): 100 g
– Egg yolk: 1
– Milk (or water): 1 tablespoon
– Powdered sugar: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
1. **Preheat the Oven**
Set the oven to 392°F (200°C), using the conventional setting.

3. **Glaze the Croissants**
Combine the egg yolk with milk and brush this mixture over the croissants. Sprinkle the remaining almond bits over them, pressing lightly to adhere.
