Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the top third off each of the 4 croissants and hollow out the inside to create a pocket for filling, leaving a sturdy shell.

  4. Step 4: Fill each croissant shell evenly with the sautéed bell pepper mixture and top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided among them.
  5. Step 5: Place the filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the croissants are warmed through.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and serve warm for a colorful and savory breakfast kids will enjoy.
