My mom's cousin has made these numerous times for family get-togethers. She never has any left! These can be made with refrigerator crescent rolls, but homemade croissants are so much better!

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Look for croissants that are made with butter and have a flaky texture. Use freshly grated cheese and crispy bacon. - If you don't have time to make your own puff pastry, you can use store-bought puff pastry. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package directions before using it. - Don't overfill the croissants. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and seal. - Bake the croissants until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Serve the croissants warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
