Croissant Monsieur - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil
4 slices bacon, cut into 3-inch lengths
18 None mini croissants (3 inches each)
2/3 cup coarsely grated smoked Cheddar cheese
1 1/4 cups light cream
3 None eggs
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated Gruyere cheese
8 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 cup Dijon mustard

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Cook bacon 1 1/2 mins each side or until golden. Drain on paper towel.
Cut croissants horizontally three-quarters of the way through, keeping the two sides still attached. Fill croissant evenly with bacon and Cheddar cheese; press gently together to close. Place croissant sandwiches close together in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
Whisk cream, eggs and Gruyere cheese in a medium bowl until combined; season. Pour cream mixture gently over croissants. Let stand 5 mins or until cream has soaked into croissants slightly.
Bake croissants for 20 mins or until golden and cheese melts. Serve immediately topped with thyme and mustard.
