French Toast Croissant Breakfast Sandwich

Sorry there is no picture--you'll have to use your imagination. ;)

Okay, this probably sounds a bit crazy...but let me explain! :) I found some left-over croissants that we used for sandwiches this past week. Usually I store them in a large Ziplock bag to keep them fresh longer but must have gotten lazy this week. This morning, as I was thinking about what to make for our Saturday breakfast I stumbled across these croissants that were started to get a bit crispy on the ends. So, I decided to slice them in half and dip the cut side in the same mixture you would use of beaten egg, milk and cinnamon and then fry them up (with very little oil) until browned.

I filled the croissant with scrambled eggs (with sauteed red & green peppers), a little shredded cheddar cheese and a piece of cooked bacon that was broken in two. My kids were so impressed! If you scramble the eggs without adding sauteed peppers, you may want to try a little drizzle of syrup over the eggs--why not? McDonald's makes McGriddles right? (Not that I could eat those. Too fake sweet for me.) :)

Oh, to make it even more special, serve with a fruit smoothie or orange julius. We used the frozen Jamba Smoothie mix with strawberries and bananas in it and added a couple of tablespoons of frozen orange juice concentrate to it with a little milk. Mmmm...
