Saturday Morning Breakfast

Ingredients

• 8 slices Bacon (thick‑cut preferred for extra crispness)
• 4 pieces Croissants (large, store‑bought; keep refrigerated until use)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (softened for easy spreading)
• 4 slices Cheddar Cheese (sharp or mild, sliced thin)
• 1 cup Fresh Fruit (mixed berries or sliced apple, optional side)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it fully preheat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 400°F

2. Arrange Bacon

   Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the baking rack. If you don’t have a rack, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the bacon directly on it.

   Time: PT2M

3. Bake Bacon

   Put the rack (or sheet) in the oven and bake for 15‑20 minutes, checking at the 15‑minute mark for desired crispness.

   Time: PT20M

   Temperature: 400°F

4. Prepare Croissants

   While the bacon cooks, cut each croissant in half lengthwise and place the halves on a cutting board.

   Time: PT2M

5. Flatten Croissant Halves

   Using a rolling pin, gently roll each croissant half to an even, thin layer—about 1/8 inch thick.

   Time: PT5M

6. Butter the Croissant

   Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the flat side of each croissant half.

   Time: PT2M

7. Heat Skillet

   Place the skillet over medium heat and let it warm for about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

8. Cook Croissant Base

   Lay the buttered side down in the skillet. Cook until the surface turns golden brown, about 3 minutes.

   Time: PT3M

9. Add Cheese and Bacon

   Flip the croissant half, place a slice of cheddar on the cooked side, add two strips of the baked bacon, then top with the second croissant half (butter side up).

   Time: PT2M

10. Finish Cooking

    Cook the assembled sandwich for another 1‑2 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and the top croissant is lightly toasted.

    Time: PT2M

11. Serve

    Remove the sandwich, slice if desired, and serve immediately with the fresh fruit on the side.

    Time: PT1M
