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!

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 pkg active dry yeast
1/3 c warm water
4 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
3 3/4 c flour
3 eggs, room tempature
1/2 c margarine, softened and cut into pieces
1 egg plus 1 tbsp. milk
FILLING:
1 pkg cream cheese, softened
2/3 c crumbled cooked bacon
1/2 c onion, chopped

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.
