Ingredients

4 large croissants
5 eggs
7 tablespoons cheddar cheese
6 strips bacon (chopped)
3 tablespoons green onion (chopped)
2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Croissants: Use a knife to carefully cut the top of each croissant, creating a boat-like shape for your filling.
Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and green onions.
Make the Egg Mixture: In another bowl, beat the eggs with milk until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the bacon and cheese mixture and stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
Fill the Croissants: Spoon the egg-bacon mixture generously into the hollowed-out croissants, filling each one to the top. Place the filled croissants onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake the croissant boats in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the egg mixture has set.
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, serve the croissant boats immediately while they’re warm. Enjoy the melty cheese, crispy bacon, and fluffy eggs in every bite!

Notes

Serving Tips:

Pairing Suggestions: Serve Breakfast Croissant Boats with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a well-rounded breakfast. For a sweeter option, drizzle with a bit of honey or maple syrup for a delicious contrast.
Toppings: Top with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of extra cheese for added richness. You can also garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a burst of color and flavor.
Temperature: These croissant boats are best served warm right out of the oven for the best texture and flavor.

Storage Tips:

Refrigeration: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will help keep the croissants fresh and the filling intact.
Freezing: To freeze, wrap each croissant boat individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat, place the croissant boats in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 30-45 seconds, but the oven method will help retain the crispness of the croissant.
