Easy Homemade Bacon and Egg Brunch Croissants

Ingredients:

• 2 croissants
• 3-4 slices bacon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Sliced cheese (cheddar, swiss, etc.), chives

Instructions:

1. Cook the bacon: Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels. You can also bake the bacon in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes, or use pre-cooked bacon for an even faster option.

2. Prepare the eggs: While the bacon cooks, whisk the eggs in a bowl with a splash of water or milk (optional). Season with salt and pepper.

3. Assemble the croissants: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the croissants in half lengthwise. If using cheese, place a slice on the bottom half of each croissant.

4. Cook the eggs: Heat the butter in the same skillet used for the bacon over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble or fry according to your preference.

5. Assemble the sandwiches: Once the eggs are cooked, crumble the bacon and distribute it evenly over the bottom halves of the croissants. Top with the scrambled eggs.

6. Bake (optional): For a melty cheese experience and a slightly crispier croissant, place the assembled croissants on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Serve: Top with chopped chives (optional) and enjoy your warm and delicious Bacon and Egg Brunch Croissants!

Tips:

• Feel free to get creative with your fillings! You can add other ingredients like sauteed mushrooms, spinach, or sliced tomatoes.
• If you don’t have an oven, you can toast the croissant halves in a toaster oven or under the broiler for a few minutes before assembling.
• For a richer flavor, brush the tops of the croissants with melted butter before baking.
• You can also assemble the croissants ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 30 minutes before baking.
