Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lay your bacon out on a baking sheet with tinfoil, trying not to overlap them. As your oven is preheating, thinly slice your white onion. Put the bacon in, and bake for 7 minutes, flip, then bake for 7 more minutes. Drain the oil and set the bacon on paper towels to soak up grease. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and begin caramelizing your onions on low-medium heat. This process takes a bit, so practice patience, stir occasionally, and get them nice and caramelized (this should take about 25 minutes). Whisk together your eggs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Spray a baking pan. Lay a layer of caramelized onions down, then sprinkle chopped bacon on top. Pour your egg mixture over. Add more onions and bacon. Top with shredded cheddar and broken up croissants. Add a little more shredded cheddar and spoonfuls of cream cheese. Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Top with chives before serving.View original recipe
