I love croissants. They are flakey, buttery and just heavenly when warm and crisp in the morning. I will gladly make a croissant with jam breakfast along with a mug of coffee during the week. But, on the weekend, I want something a little more extravagant. This is where blending two of my favorites - croissant sandwiches and eggs Benedict - becomes something of an art.
This is a great summer breakfast for me. I'm not entirely sure why, although it's perfect when served with a side of fresh fruit. Maybe it's the combination of elegance and laziness that appeals and makes me think of vacations at the beach and getting up early to have breakfast on the beach as the surf rolls in. Croissants and crepes both bring those memories to mind. I guess it is just another form of comfort food to me. Anything that evokes fond memories tends to get high marks from me and this is just such a dish. I hope it helps you build some of those memories, too. Enjoy!
