Pizza Croissant Cups Recipe (with Video)

Preparation of Croissant Cups
1. Brush butter on an upside down muffin pan.
2. Divide the croissant dough into 9 long strips. Roll each strip up, then flatten with a rolling pin so it is thin and large enough to wrap the muffin cup on the outside. Gently stretch and press down. Repeat until all 9 cups are covered. Let rise in a warm place (75F) for 2.5 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350F. Brush egg wash on the cups and bake for 20 min. Then cover with a tray to flatten the cups and bake 5 min. At this point the cups should be a golden color. Remove from oven and set temperature to 450F.
Preparation of Filling
1. Sauté chopped chicken in oil along with spices for 3-5 min. Add veggies and sauté on high heat until they start to caramelize. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Assembling and Baking
1. Layer each croissant cup with a mixture of the two cheeses, sauce, filling, and more cheese on the top. Cover lightly with foil and bake at 450 for 10 min. Broil for 1 min to get the cheese slightly golden.
2. Serve and enjoy.
