About Croissant misto

A Croissant Misto is a variation of the traditional French croissant, filled with ingredients like ham and cheese, making it a savory pastry popular in breakfast menus across Europe, particularly in France and Italy. This flaky pastry is crafted from a buttery dough made of layers of butter and flour. Nutritionally, it is calorie-dense due to its high fat content, providing approximately 320-400 calories per serving, depending on the filling. It is a source of carbohydrates, fats, and protein, offering about 15-18g of fat, 10-12g of protein, and 30-35g of carbs per serving. However, it contains minimal fiber and key micronutrients such as calcium and iron predominantly from the cheese and enriched flour, respectively.
