Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Tip:
Serve these Cranberry Brie Croissants straight from the air fryer while the pastry is still crisp and the Brie is warm and melting. Add fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a complete brunch or light lunch. They also work beautifully as part of a larger breakfast table with eggs, fruit and other warm pastries.
Storage Tips:
Allow leftover croissants to cool before placing them in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the air fryer until warmed through and crisp again. For the best flavour and texture, add fresh rocket only after reheating rather than storing it inside the croissants.
Wine Pairing:
A fresh Sauvignon Blanc works beautifully with the creamy Brie, salty prosciutto and sweet cranberry sauce. Its refreshing acidity cuts through the richness of the cheese while complementing the fruity cranberry. It gives this quick croissant a rather elegant finish, even though the air fryer has quietly done most of the work.
