If you're going to reheat it tomorrow then it's probably not worth cooking it the night before. If you plan on having a cold bacon croissant tomorrow, then go ahead and it will taste fine. I would actually put the bacon in the croissant tonight, as that way the bacon grease^Wjuices can seep into the croissant while still liquid. The question remaining is whether you keep it in the fridge overnight, which is more a question of balancing pleasantness of eating experience against risk of food poisoning. ;) > I hear you can do it in the microwave. > Would it be better to wait and just zap a slice for 30 seconds > tomorrow morning? I've never tried bacon in the microwave. I imagine it would be highly dependent on the quality of the bacon. With high-quality dry cured bacon it's probably OK, but with supermarket soggy bacon you'd just get a puddle of white scum. The Benjy's sandwich place near my office appears to do their hot bacon sandwiches by having a stack of pre-cooked rashers which they reheat in their big flat sandwich toaster before putting them in the bread. They do eggs and all sorts of things in the toaster... Pre-fried bacon should reheat reasonably well in the microwave, I'd expect, though I haven't tried this myself. --m
