Cheddar Cheese, Bacon & Egg Croissants
Ingredients:
  • 4 large butter croissants (fresh or day-old)
  • 120g Marsh Extra Tasty Cheddar cheese, grated
  • 8 rashers bacon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 30g butter
  • 60ml milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven: Heat oven to 180°C.
Cook bacon: In a large frying pan, cook bacon rashers until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Keep warm.

Prepare croissants: Slice croissants horizontally, leaving them attached on one side like a hinge. Lightly toast in oven for 3-4 minutes until warmed through.
Make Scrambled Eggs:4. Crack eggs: Beat eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Cook eggs: In the same pan used for bacon (wipe clean if needed), melt butter over low-medium heat. Pour in beaten eggs.
Scramble gently: Using a spatula, gently stir eggs as they cook, pushing from edges to center. Remove from heat while still slightly wet - they'll continue cooking.

Add cheese: Immediately fold in half the grated Marsh Extra Tasty Cheddar while eggs are hot. Season with salt, pepper, and chives if using.
Assemble the Croissants:8. Layer filling: Open warmed croissants and layer with scrambled egg mixture, crispy bacon pieces, and remaining cheese.

Add extras: If using, add mayonnaise, mustard, tomatoes, spinach, or avocado.
Final warm: Return assembled croissants to oven for 2-3 minutes to melt remaining cheese.

Serve immediately: Enjoy while hot and the cheese is melted.
