Panera Bread has announced the debut of its innovative new Croissant Toast Sandwiches, headlining a spring lunch and dinner menu refresh that also features the introduction of new menu items including the Strawberry Chicken Caprese Salad and the return of the Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad and Mexican Street Corn Chowder.
The Croissant Toast Sandwiches feature a sandwich bread made from croissant dough, which elevates the sandwich experience with toasty, buttery swirls and satisfying crunch. There are two limited-time options available at Panera locations nationwide:
- Croque Monsieur Croissant Toast – Black Forest ham, melty provolone and asiago cheeses, and a caramelized onion and gruyere spread
- Fromage Croissant Toast – Melty provolone and American cheeses, caramelized onions, arugula and garlic aioli
“Our new Croissant Toasts are an innovative gamechanger for our sandwich menu. These unique sandwiches are curated with an all-butter, flaky croissant sliced bread, delivering a truly delicious product and experience like nothing Panera has had on its menu before,” says Scott Uehlein, vice president of culinary, Panera Bread. “Its amazing appearance is only surpassed by its taste – a perfect balance of a crisp crust and buttery, layered interior that makes these menu items truly special. It’s everything our guests love about croissants and sandwiches made into two irresistible offerings.”
“Panera is focused on serving high-quality, craveable food that fits every moment of our guests’ lives, and our new spring menu delivers everything from exciting innovation in our new Croissant Toast Sandwiches to delightful, familiar comfort with the return of our seasonal favorites,” adds Mark Shambura, chief marketing officer at Panera Bread.
