Champagne Breakfast

Sara 76's Note:

This is a tasty Champagne Breakfast, perfect for celebrating a special occasion. If you don't like smoked salmon, you could use shaved ham instead. Because this is served so early, your guests might like to mix their champagne with orange juice. Place a jug of freshly squeezed juice on the table, and let guests mix their own drinks.

Directions:

1. Prehat oven to 180°C Place croissants on a tray, and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden and heated through. Be careful not to cook them too long, as they burn easily.
