Bacon Cheese Croissant Toasts

Ingredients needed:

• Croissants—mini croissants are the perfect size for party finger food. However, you can use large croissants. But note that the number of croissant toasts yield will be reduced if using large.
• Bacon—get precooked bacon (not bacon bits) for convenience and ease. You can also cook your own. Cook to medium doneness…you want the bacon to have some flexibility, because it will continue to cook with the croissants.
• Cheese—packaged pre-shredded cheese is fine. Cheese blends such as pizza or Italian are great for flavor as well as gooeyness. I have used just shaved Parmesan and it was delicious! On the other hand, Asiago, which is what I used in these photos, tasted a little dry. I would use cheddar or mozzarella next time for the gooey factor.
• Pickled banana peppers—be sure to pat dry. I recommend hot but use mild if you don’t like heat.
