- For the caramel sauce, heat the butter, sugar and golden syrup until bubbling. Cook for 3-5 mins to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream and vanilla extract. Set aside until needed.
- Toast the pecan nuts in a large dry nonstick frying pan until just turning golden and you can smell the nutty flavours. Tip onto a chopping board and, when cool enough to handle, roughly chop. Toss with the flaked almonds.
- Slice the croissants in half. In a shallow bowl, use a fork to beat the eggs with the spices until well combined. Heat 1 tsp butter in the frying pan. Dip the croissants into the egg mixture and fry, two at a time over a medium-high heat for about 1 min on each side, until golden brown. Fry the remaining croissants, adding another teaspoon of butter to the pan if needed.
- Serve two croissant halves per person, topped with the caramel sauce and a big dollop of yoghurt. Sprinkle over the nuts and blueberries (if using).
- Make ahead: Make the caramel sauce up to a day in advance, reheat to serve. Or use 180g Tesco Finest salted caramel sauce)
