At first glance, I thought this $5.80 pastry looked most Starbucks-esque for some reason. But the more I stared at it, the more that oozy cheese and slightly deflated crossaint looked appealing to me.
And oh boy was it good (better than Starbucks). The crossaint remained crispy and flaky despite the fact that it had been stuffed with egg and cheese. The egg was well seasoned and while obviously not freshly cooked at least it was flavorful and not rubbery. But the kicker was the cheese. Slightly salty and with a reasonable cheese pull, it paired with the buttery crossaint and savory eggs perfectly.
I am surprised and impressed by this!! I was not expecting it to taste quite this good. :)
