How to make Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Croissant:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Place bacon on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, and cook in the oven about 15 minutes or until desired doneness. Watch closely so it doesn’t burn.
At the same time, slice the croissants in half using a serrated knife.
Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Toast the croissant halves in the pan, cut side down, until the insides are golden brown. (Work in batches if needed.)
Set aside on a wire rack to cool.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper until well combined.
Melt the butter in the same frying pan over medium heat.
Add the eggs to the center of the pan and immediately reduce the heat to medium-low.
Wait for the edges to just barely start to set, then using a rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs every few seconds until mostly set and with a little shimmer. Remove from the heat.
Place the double cheddar cheese slices on top of the eggs to melt.
When the bacon is removed from the oven, drain it on paper towel.
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the croissants.
Place the eggs with cheese on next.
Then place the cooked bacon over the cheese.
Add the top half of the croissant and serve.
