Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Split the skin on the sausages and squeeze out the meat. Discard the skins. Heat the oil in a frying pan and crumble in the sausage meat. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and slightly crisp in places. Cut the tomatoes in half and add to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes are wilted. Add the chilli flakes and stir over the heat for 1 minute. Add the crème fraîche and cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
- Make a split down the centre of each croissant. Stir 75g of the Emmental into the sausage mixture, then divide between the croissants. Put on a baking tray and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Bake for 5 minutes until they are hot and the cheese has melted. Garnish with torn parsley. Serve hot or warm.
