Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 5 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Number of servings: 6 croissants

Necessary ingredients:
- 6 croissants (you can choose store-bought or make the dough at home)
- 1 box of Delaco Ceva Fin Pufos, herb cream cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 1 fresh garden cucumber
- 5-10 large olives (black or green, depending on your preference)
- 1 bunch of green onions
- 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley

Step by step:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. If you chose to make the croissants at home, now is the time to prepare the dough. Alternatively, you can buy fresh croissants from a bakery or supermarket.

2. The filling: Cut the croissants in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, so they remain attached at the base. Gently scoop out some of the croissant's interior to make room for the filling.

3. Preparing the mixture: In a medium bowl, mix the Delaco Ceva Fin cream cheese with diced cucumber, chopped olives, finely chopped green onions, and parsley. Make sure the ingredients are well integrated, and the mixture becomes creamy and flavorful. Taste and adjust with a little salt or pepper if necessary.

4. Filling the croissants: Use a spoon or a piping bag to fill the croissants with the cheese mixture. Fill them well, but do not overstuff.

5. Baking: Place the filled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the croissants for 3-5 minutes or until they become lightly golden and crispy.

6. Serving: After removing them from the oven, let them cool slightly before serving. These warm croissants filled with cheese are perfect to enjoy alongside a fresh salad, a yogurt dip, or even a glass of dry white wine.

Helpful tips:
- Ingredients: Choose olives based on your taste preferences. Green olives add a fresher note, while black ones provide a deeper flavor.
- Variations: You can experiment with different fillings, such as ham, bell peppers, or even avocado. Be creative!
- Serving: These croissants pair wonderfully with a yogurt dip with dill or a tomato salad with basil.

Nutritional benefits:
Cheese-filled croissants are a protein-rich snack due to the cheese, and the vegetables add essential vitamins and minerals. Cucumber is an excellent source of hydration and contains antioxidants, while olives are rich in healthy fatty acids.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I make the croissants in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the croissants a few hours ahead and bake them before serving.

2. What other fillings can I use?
You can use feta cheese, ricotta, or even a mix of cheeses, depending on your preferences.

3. How can I store leftover croissants?
Croissants can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 1-2 days. Reheat them in the oven to restore their crispiness.

These warm croissants filled with cheese are not only a delicious choice but also an excellent way to impress your friends and family. Enjoy every bite and don't forget to share the recipe!
