Presentation can make a simple, pure dessert shine. For example, supermarket croissants can be split open like butterflies to make open-faced strawberry "shortcake" desserts. This is lovely because the croissants are not sugary sweet and will let the lingering summer berry flavor star.
To cut a croissant into a convincing butterfly, use a long bread knife to cut from the inner part of the curved pastry. Stop cutting about 3/4 of an inch from the far edge to create a small hinge. Open the croissant and warm the butterflied croissant in a toasted oven. We toast them just enough to brown the edges and crisp the cut edge of the pastry's layers. Serve topped with a 1/2 cup of yogurt, a tablespoon of strawberry jam and 1/2 cup fresh, sliced strawberries.
