Overview
Lasagne is a bit like lamingtons, even though they taste and look absolutely nothing alike. Their one big commonality: if there's an inventive way to twist either in any way, whatever that dish happens to be is definitely worth trying. Actually, the two foods share something else in common, because Australia's world-famous Lune Croissanterie has also given them both a whirl. It first served up lamington cruffins to kick off 2022, and now it's doing lasagne pastries to welcome in winter.
Lasagne, but a pastry? Yes, that's now a real thing that exists — but only for this month, until Thursday, June 30, at all Lune stores around the country. That spans Fitzroy and the CBD in Melbourne, plus South Brisbane in Brisbane. While the brand also has three new outposts in the works — a third in Melbourne, a second in Brissie and its first ever in Sydney — none will be open in time to dish up this limited-time special.
So, what are these instantly tastebud-tempting lasagne pastries? Prepare to meet, devour and love the lasagne escargot. It's the first time that Lune has whipped up this particular Frankenstein's monster of a bakery creation — and it's bound to set your stomach alive with deliciousness.
Yes, it comes stuffed with bolognese and béchamel. There's also shredded mozzarella cheese, because of course there is. And, that pastry is then topped with parmesan before it goes in the oven.
In Melbourne, you'll need to physically head into a Lune to get your mitts on this creative lasagne dish. In Brisbane, you can also order it online.
The lasagne escargot leads Lune's June specials menu, which also features peanut pretzels and coconut pandan. For Brisbanites only, there's also cardamom buns, quince and vanilla danishes, and rhubarb and custard cruffins, too.
Lune's lasagne escargot are available from all stores — Fitzroy and the CBD in Melbourne, and South Brisbane in Brisbane — until Thursday, June 30. In Brisbane only, you can also order them online.
