Ingredients

Serves : 4
  • 8 merguez sausages (cut into 3cm pieces)


  • 2 garlic cloves (peeled and finely sliced)


  • 1 small handful of chopped parsley


  • 2 tbs of capers (rinsed)


  • 4 croissants


  • 175 g Fontina or Port Salut cheese

Directions

  • Place a frying pan over a medium heat, add a dash of olive oil and fry the sausage slices with a little salt and pepper until cooked through and lightly coloured on the outside. Remove and slice on the diagonal, then place in a bowl
  • Add the garlic to the pan and fry for 30 seconds, then add the parsley and capers and heat for another 30 seconds. Mix with the sausages
  • Preheat the grill
  • Slice the very top off each croissant to create a lid. Fry the cut sides in the hot pan until golden. Gently push down the inside of the croissants to create a hollow, then fill with the sausage mixture. Top with the slices of cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the filled croissants (without the lids) on a baking sheet and put under the hot grill for 1–2 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Place the lids on top and serve.
