Bacon and Egg Croissant Boats

Step 1

In frying pan add in your 5 slices of Wellshire Farms Bourbon Maple Bacon. I do not add any grease to the pan, because it will not need it, the grease from the bacon does the job. I cook mine for 6 minutes on each side, because I like mine crispy. You want it to be 3/4 done cooking to your liking. This is because you will cook it for a bit longer in the oven when you stuff your boats. So I cook mine for a total of 12 minutes. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil as you cook. This will keep the heat in and ensure even cooking as well as minimize the bacon grease getting over you stove.

Step 2

Once the bacon is done, transfer to a plate with a paper towel to soak up excess grease then you will get started on your gravy in the SAME pan.

Step 3

Take the aluminum foil you covered your frying pan with. Create a boat with the foil, this way you can pour your bacon grease in it, not down your drain and allow it to cool before throwing away. Reserve 1 tbsp of bacon grease in your pan. Do not scrap any of the scraps out of the pan, you want this flavor for your gravy.

Step 4

Add in onion and turn on medium low heat to start. Cook your onions in the bacon grease for 1 minute. Add in your cloves garlic minced and mix into the onions. Turn up to medium heat now and saute for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Then add in your 2 tbsp flour, mix into your onion and garlic mixture. Cooking for another 2 minutes, mixing occasionally so it does not burn. After pour in your milk. Start whisking it to thicken.

Step 6

After it is clump free, add in your sharp cheddar cheese and continue to whisk, while gradually adding all your chicken broth to thin to perfect gravy consistency. Turn down to low heat and keep the broth handy. As it cools you will want to continue to thicken it. Stir in the chopped chives, and then keep on low, occasionally stirring while you get the stuffing for the boats ready.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 350

Step 8

On baking sheet, line with parchment paper. Take croissants and line them on the baking sheet ,evenly spaced. Hollow out the tops of the croissants to create "boats" as pictured and seen in the video above. Do not cut all the way through, you want your eggs to be craddled in the "boats."

Step 9

Spray the tops of your croissants with olive oil, then place in oven at 350 degrees for 5 minutes while you start your egg mixture.

Step 10

In medium frying pan, add olive oil on medium heat. Let heat for 2 minutes. Then add in the 6 eggs scrambled. You will cook them for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat. You do not want them cooked all the way, because they are about to go in the oven.

Step 11

After cooking for 2 minutes, add in the salt, pepper, paprika, cheddar cheese and chopped spinach. Continue to cook down your spinach as you cook for the last 2 minutes.

Step 12

This should bring you right to where your criossants are done. You will then break apart your cooked bacon from above into the egg mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 13

Evenly divide the bacon egg mixture into each boat. Optional to top with more cheddar cheese. Then bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Take out, serve on your plate with breakfast potatoes or fruit salad, drizzle with your delicious cheddar chive gravy and ENJOY!
