Ingredients

1 croissant
¼ cup pistachios shelled
¼ cup walnuts raw
3 Tablespoons honey plus extra for drizzling
pinch salt

Instructions

Chop pistachios and walnuts into small pieces and add to a bowl. Add the honey and stir together.
Slice a croissant in half lengthwise.
Spread the honey nut mixture onto the cut sides of the croissants.
Place croissant halves into the air fryer. Air fry at 380 degrees F for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
Plate, and drizzle with more honey if desired.

Notes

- All air fryers cook differently. Make sure to check frequently for doneness to make sure your croissant and nuts don't burn.
- You do not preheat your air fryer for this recipe.

- For an even more decadent balkava croissant, you can add a tablespoon of melted butter to the honey and nuts before adding to the croissant halves.

- You can experiment with other breads too! English muffins or thick rustic bread would also be delicious.
- While this recipe makes one croissant, you can slice it into smaller pieces to serve 2-4 people (which I would recommend doing, as it's pretty rich!)

Serving ideas:

This is delicious with a drizzle of honey, but you can also serve with some Greek yogurt or fresh whipped cream as well.

Oven instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the croissant. Place the croissant on a baking sheet in the oven and cook for 5-8 minutes.
