This Mother’s Day, I have been thinking about ways I can celebrate the occasion with my favourite ingredient - cheese.
From cheesy waffles, baked cheese breads or scrambled eggs with your favourite cheese, cheese is the perfect way to celebrate this Mother’s Day.
I hope you enjoy my croissant bake, which can be made in advance, and then bake just before you are ready to serve. Full of cheesy goodness this crowd pleaser is so tasty and easy to make.
