Kick-off Mother’s Day by building this butterfly croissant in under 10 minutes. You only need five ingredients to build this creative Mothers Day breakfast idea: Thomas’ Mini Croissants, strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and decorating icing. How easy is that!
Prep the fruit. Wash all of the fruit and dry with paper towel. Using a peeler, remove the kiwi skin then cut ¼ inch thick slices. Remove the strawberry stem and cut ¼ inch thick slices.
Build the body. Add one Thomas’ Mini Croissant to a plate.
Build the top strawberry wings. Add three strawberry slices to each side of the croissant. See images above.
Build the bottom kiwi wings. Add two kiwi slices to each side of the croissant. See images above.
Add blueberry dots. Add one blueberry to tip of each strawberry wing. Add two blueberries to the tip of each kiwi wing.
Add the facial features. Using blue decorating icing add the eyes and antennas.
Optional step: add more blueberries to the bottom of the plate.
Notes
Substitute for decorating icing. Instead, you can melt chocolate chips in the microwave and use a toothpick to draw on the eyes and antenna. You can also use decorating gel. It’s usually in the baking section at grocery stores.Prepare the fruit the night before. This way you can quickly assemble the butterfly croissant the morning of Mother’s Day. Just make sure to use paper towel to remove any extra moisture. Then, line an air tight container with paper towel, add your fruit to the container, add the lid and place it in the fridge.
