🛒 Ingredients

✓ 400g thawed croissant dough (2 pastries, or 1 sheet laminated puff pastry)
✓ 60g unsalted butter, melted
✓ 60g plain Greek yogurt (0% fat preferred)
✓ 1 tbsp granulated sugar
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ Neutral oil for waffle iron (1 tsp)
✓ 1.5 salted duck egg yolks (or 2 regular egg yolks + 1/4 tsp sea salt)
✓ 1 tbsp reduced-fat sweetened condensed milk
✓ 1 tbsp light coconut milk
✓ 1 tbsp honey
✓ Sesame seeds and crushed pistachios for garnish (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: If using thawed croissant dough, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes until pliable. Combine melted butter and Greek yogurt in a small bowl, whisking until smooth. This 50/50 blend mimics butter's lamination while cutting saturated fat.

2. Brush and Assemble: Unroll croissant dough onto parchment paper. Brush the butter-yogurt mixture evenly over the surface. Sprinkle sugar, vanilla, and sea salt. If using puff pastry, cut into two 4-inch squares for waffle iron.

3. Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat waffle iron to medium-high (around 375°F). Brush lightly with oil to prevent sticking. A Belgian or deep-pocket waffle iron works best for capturing flaky layers.

4. Cook the Croffle: Place dough square into waffle iron, close gently, and cook for 4–5 minutes until deep golden brown. The outside should be crispy, the inside tender. Flip once if your waffle iron requires it. Remove to a wire rack to cool slightly.

5. Make Salted Egg Glaze: Press salted egg yolk through a fine sieve into a small saucepan. Add condensed milk, coconut milk, and honey. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly for 2–3 minutes until silky and emulsified. Do not boil. The glaze should coat a spoon.

6. Assemble and Glaze: Place warm croffle on serving plate. Pour or drizzle warm salted egg glaze generously over the top. Work quickly while glaze is warm so it pools into the waffle pockets and cascades down the sides.

7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and crushed pistachios if desired. Serve immediately while croffle is still warm and glaze is glossy. The contrast between warm pastry and creamy glaze is essential.
