Breakfast with Swiss croissants.
One of the typical savory croissants that can be enjoyed in almost all cafés in Switzerland.
As I already wrote in another post, it is one of my favorite croissants and these are the ones that my parents, returning from a family weekend across the Alps, brought me for breakfast.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find savory croissants here, they are almost always sweet and filled (with cream, chocolate or jam). These are always empty.

There are persistent folk tales that mistakenly attribute the origin and shape of the croissant to the celebration of the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the siege of Vienna in 1683 or the siege of Budapest in 1686. According to these stories, a baker who was working at night heard the sound of the Turks digging an underground tunnel. As a reward for saving the city, the baker received the exclusive right to produce crescent-shaped pastries to commemorate the event. However, there are no original contemporary sources to confirm any of these stories.
