Preparation

Step 1

*If making a croissan'wich: Take two triangle of crescent dough and press them together to make one giant triangle. Roll starting at the large end and bring the tips together to form sort of a crescent circle. Bake until golden brown.

Make the herb butter spread:
Place garlic and parsley in the bowl of a small food processor; process until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl and add butter; blend using a fork. Add thyme and salt; stir until well combined.

Bake bacon: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cut bacon in half and place on a baking rack that is nested in a baking sheet. Bake bacon for about 20 minutes or until brown and crispy. You can cook this on the stove top as well.

Make eggs: In a small bowl combine 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of half and half. Whisk together well. Pour eggs over a hot griddle that two teaspoons of butter has been melted on. Cook eggs on medium-low heat until they are done. Do not disturb the eggs while cooking. When eggs are almost done cut the eggs in half, and fold eggs into smaller portions.

Assembly: Slice muffin/biscuit/crescent in half. Butter each cut side, and place buttered side down onto a hot grill or pan to toast. Assemble sandwich by placing the eggs on the bottom bun, then the cheese slices, and finally add the 4 pieces of cooked bacon. Top with remaining muffin top.
