National Croissant Day | Steak, Arugula, Provolone Croissant Sandwich

Croissants are one of those items that I can eat constantly. I can’t even buy them in the store because I’ll slap some butter on every one of those puppies and go to town and well, that can’t be healthy. In fact, I now know how much butter goes into a croissant so unfortunately, I limit myself to the occasional splurge, or National Croissant Day!

I could have done a million things with National Croissant Day (including stuffing my face), but ultimately, I thought a croissant sandwich would be perfect. This is not the greasy croissan’wich that comes out of a very popular fast food joint. I shudder at the thought.

Instead, I decided to place steak, provolone, arugula, roasted red pepper and balsamic in between croissant pieces and then I immediately sighed at the tastiness of it all. Grilled croissant made for a sandwich that had a crunch while also remaining flaky inside.

A croissant sandwich is a different take on any sandwich and you can even up the ante and make this into a more elegant dish. As for me, I just couldn’t wait to sink my teeth in.

I love croissants! I never think to use them to make sandwiches though 🙂 Pinned – stopping by from DBB!

I’ve actually made my own croissants…once. They were pretty good. I’d like to make them again. Roast beef and provolone makes an awesome sandwich. You’re almost through the first month! WTG 🙂

I love a good ole croissant, especially with cheese and ham. SO, this is right up my alley.

Croissants are one of my biggest weaknesses in the bread world. There’s nothing better than a flaky buttery one and they make the perfect start to a delicious sandwich. Filet croissants – yes ma’am!

When I saw that this post was about National Croissant Day, I was really worried you would try to make your own. I was like “Noooo! She doesn’t have time for that!” So time consuming, and really, not worth it! haha.

I’m glad you did this recipe instead. I make croissant sandwiches from time to time (so good!), but I don’t think I’ve ever done a steak one. This is something I could see myself eating for a light dinner in the summer.

Seriously. Nothing beats a sandwich on a croissant. Nothing.

I love your recipe design — it’s super cute!

Glad to have found you through SITS 🙂 ~Jenna
