March Madness Breakfast in Front of the TV
Happy Sunday, Hungry Fans! I love going out for a good breakfast on Sunday mornings. But when March Madness rolls around, I park it on the couch, watching basketball and picnic-ing on my coffee table. Today I am serving up these bacon & egg breakfast croissants. Cheat day breakfast food at it’s best! Enjoy with a bloody mary and good luck with those brackets, Hungry Fans!
Bacon & Egg Mini Breakfast Croissants
Recipe by Addie of Addie’s Confetti Kitchen
1 package of pre-sliced bacon
1 dozen eggs
1 tablespoon butter
1 dozen mini croissants purchased at a bakery or grocery store and sliced in half (into top and bottom buns)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: cheese and avocado slices
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Place your bacon slices on a parchment paper-lined sheet tray. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
3. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Crack your egg into the skillet, careful not to break the yolk. Quickly fry the egg, about 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. To serve, sandwich your bacon and egg in between the croissant halves.
Optional: add cheese and avocado as well. (If using cheese, melt the cheese onto the croissant in a toaster, oven, or microwave first).
