Background

I’ve been reading about the trend of croffles, particularly in Korea and other East-Asain Countries, and wanted to try it out for ages. A croffle is basically a croissant made crispy in a waffle maker, then served with spread and sauces. Sometimes it is stuffed with jam, fruits, cheese, ham and so on. I made this Cheese and fig chutney croffle with Gruyere cheese but I think it would work with Stilton, Gorgonzola or mature Cheddar too. I must say, the croffle was sensational - but it took ages to clean the waffle machine afterwards, as the cheese melted and stuck to the iron plate! I used my homemade balsamic fig chutney for this special version, which is perfect for breakfast during the winter holidays.
