Critical Success Points

  • Complete cooking of the eggplants to avoid them remaining raw inside.
  • Cooking the ground meat until the pink disappears.
  • Glazing and baking the croissants to obtain a well‑risen and golden pastry.
  • Do not boil the soup after adding the cream to avoid separation.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid splatters.
  • Cook ground meat to an internal temperature of at least 71°C.
  • Watch out for seafood shells to avoid injuries.
  • Use kitchen gloves when handling cold puff pastry.
