Croissants Made w. Eggs or Not?
Is egg an ingredient in a croissant? Is egg an ingredient in certain
croissants? I sometimes will stop by a 7-11 in the morning and grab a croissant, so I am curious if 7-11 croissants have egg in them. I tried the 7-11 website but could not find the ingredients there. It seems like one might be able to taste the egg if it was in there but I must admit I can't really tell. They are a bit doughy and yeasty but I just am not sure about egg. |

Generally, eggs aren't a standard ingredient of the french dough, but they're used to smear the top in 90% cases. I don't know about 7-11, but e.g. Fornetti Franchise does exactly that. |

Better to grab some whole grains, fruit, or some real food. Something to consider. Veganism alone will not lead to health. |

I don't know if they have egg in them, but croissants are not vegan.
They definately have butter in them. Eat a Luna bar or nuts or something else instead! Beach Runner wrote: > bojster wrote: > > > Velcro_SP wrote: > > > > > >>Is egg an ingredient in a croissant?
