Instructions

1- Prepare the Ricotta Filling:

In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and cardamom powder.
Set aside.

2- Prepare the Croissants:

Using a bread knife or serrated knife, carefully slice each croissant in half without cutting all the way through.

Spoon the ricotta mixture into each croissant.
Ensure an even spread throughout.

4- Prepare the Egg Mixture:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

5- Soak the Croissants:

Dip each stuffed croissant into the egg mixture.
Ensure they are well-coated but not overly soaked.

6- Cook the Croissants:

Put a pan on medium heat, add the butter, and allow it to melt.
Fry the stuffed croissants for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

7- Serve:

Top with fresh strawberries and blueberries.
Drizzle with maple syrup and, if desired, sprinkle additional powdered sugar.
Enjoy while warm!
