Croissant Toast Points are an elegant, small-format bite that balances buttery richness with salty crunch and savory depth. Thick slices of croissant bread are toasted in butter until crisp and flaky, creating a golden base that feels both refined and indulgent. Each toast point is topped with a smooth dollop of cream cheese and a shard of crispy prosciutto, adding height, texture, and a savory punch. A drizzle of Texas Olive Ranch Balsamic Vinegar brings brightness and acidity, lifting the richness of the cream cheese and prosciutto. The final flourish is cured egg yolk, grated finely over the top for concentrated umami and a velvety finish, behaving almost like a savory cheese. These bites are perfect as a passed appetizer, a brunch starter, or an elevated addition to a small-plates menu. Most of the work is done ahead of time when curing the egg yolks, making assembly quick and low-stress when it’s time to serve.
