Pie Iron Sun Dried Tomato & Goat Cheese Croissant

pie iron croissant recipe

This pie iron tomato & cheese croissant is absolutely delicious. I’m excited for today’s camping recipe!  I feel like it is a “grown up” version of most pie iron recipes. 

Something for the more sophisticated pallet?!  LOL  I love the combo of roasted chicken, goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes!  This Pie Iron Sun Dried Tomato & Goat Cheese Croissant is just as easy as any other to pack and prepare…

Too busy to make this right away?! Pin it for later!  Pin this recipe to your favorite camping board on Pinterest and it’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready.

Be sure purchase your ingredients for easy packing, storing and prepping.  I often buy pre-sliced cheese, meats and small packages of sun dried tomatoes.  You can totally substitute bread or your wrap of choice instead of the crescent rolls from a can!

I love Pie Irons for cooking while camping.  We also call them camp cookers.  It is essentially a cast iron sandwich maker that you can heat over the open fire. 

We use it year round and it works like a charm over the propane fire as well (whenever there is a fire ban in place).  You can purchase a Pie Iron straight from Amazon or find them at Canadian Tire or other outdoor specialty stores.

  • Foil Pie Plates make tinfoil packet meals even easier with the sturdy base that they provide. 
  • These Grilling Bags that I recently found are amazing!  Simply add all of your ingredients to the bag at home then throw it on the campfire or grill when camping in the great outdoors.  Avoid the grill bags with plastic windows, they melt.
  • We love these BBQ Cooking Gloves because they make handling campfire food a whole lot safer!

Tips for camping meal preparation:

  • Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible.  Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier.  Trust me on this one!
  • Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought. 
  • Use tinfoil packets, foil pie pans or camp cookers. These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
  • Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size freezer bags for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
  • Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy.  These Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Loaded Campfire Potatoes and Tinfoil Packet Nacho Dip recipes are some of our favorites.
  • Use my blank printable meal plan or camping meal plans to help organize your next trip.

How to cook with a pie iron:

  • When cooking with a camp cooker, begin by applying non stick cooking spray or oil to the inside of both cooking plates.   This step is important so that your delicious meal doesn’t stick to the plates and burn.
  • Place your recipe ingredients into the cooker before closing and latching it.
  • Cook the recipe over an open fire. We recommend placing the cooker over the fire for two minutes before unlatching, checking for doneness and flipping the cooker over to cook the other side.
  • Use caution when handling both the metal latch and handles as they can become hot while cooking.
