My mom's cousin has made these numerous times for family get-togethers. She never has any left! These can be made with refrigerator crescent rolls, but homemade croissants are so much better!

Steps:
- 1. Put into a large bowl, dry yeast, sugar, salt and 1 cup flour; mix. Add warm water and 3 eggs and mix with mixer until smooth. Mix in margarine and the rest of the flour to make soft dough.
- 2. On floured board, knead dough for 5 minutes. Place in bowl and let rise for 45 minutes. Punch down; chill dough for 15 minutes. While dough is raising mix together cream cheese, bacon and onion for filling.
- 3. Roll out 1/2 of dough in to 2 10in. circles. Spread with 1/4 (each) of filling. Cut into 6 wedges. Ross into crescents. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with other dough. Let rise for 45 mins.
- 4. Brush with egg/milk mixture and then bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the cheese and bacon. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the croissants.
- Make sure the dough is cold before you start working with it. This will help to prevent the butter from melting and making the dough greasy.
- Roll the dough out thinly. This will help to ensure that the croissants are light and flaky.
- Don't overproof the croissants. If they are overproofed, they will be too airy and light, and they won't have the characteristic flaky layers.
- Bake the croissants until they are golden brown. This will help to ensure that they are cooked through and that the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Conclusion:
Bacon cheese croissants are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch pastry. They can be made with a variety of different cheeses and bacons, so you can customize them to your own taste. They are also relatively easy to make, so they are a great option for even beginner bakers.
