🥘 Ingredients

5 items

• 2 pieces Croissants
• 1 large Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cups Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Slice the croissants in half horizontally to create a top and bottom slice.

2. Peel and slice the banana into thin rounds.

3. On the bottom half of each croissant, evenly distribute the banana slices and sprinkle a generous amount of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate over the fruit.

4. Place the top half of the croissant over the fillings to create a sandwich.

5. Heat a large skillet or panini press over medium heat. If using a skillet, press the croissants down gently with a spatula while cooking.

6. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Once melted, place one croissant sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the croissant is golden brown and the chocolate has melted. Repeat with the second croissant, adding the remaining butter to the skillet as needed.

7. Transfer the cooked croissant paninis to a cutting board and let them cool slightly before slicing in half, if desired.

8. Dust with powdered sugar for garnish (optional) and serve warm.
