Croissants with Pine Nuts

Ingredients

• 2 sheets of pre-made puff pastry, thawed
• 1/2 cup of pine nuts
• 4 tablespoons of honey

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the pine nuts in a dry skillet and toast over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Roll out each sheet of puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thickness and cut each into 6 rectangles.
4. Spread 1 tablespoon of honey onto each rectangle and sprinkle pine nuts on top.
5. Roll each rectangle into a crescent shape and place on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Brush each crescent with the beaten egg to give a golden color.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
