Prosciutto and Swiss Croissant Bake

This Prosciutto and Swiss Croissant Bake is the definition of comfort food done right. Buttery croissants soak up the creamy richness of our whole milk Lifeway Kefir, while prosciutto and Swiss cheese bring the perfect balance of savory goodness. Fresh rosemary and thyme add aromatic depth, and a drizzle of honey finishes it all off with a touch of sweetness. Using Lifeway Kefir elevates this dish, adding a velvety texture and a tangy richness that takes your comfort food experience to the next level. It’s the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug in every bite.

The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:

Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for better gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health. Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it triggers the release of GLP-1.

Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health: vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our kefir, we also offer our artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt for optimal heart-health benefits.
