Bouchon Bakery

Just a quick breakfast note for you all as you wake up this morning. Jenn and I drove in NYC together as we are meeting Susan and Rich for lunch at Nougantine. Since lunch won't be until late afternoon, we decided to stop by the newly opened Bouchon Bakery in Rockefeller Center, near where I work.

Jenn got her favorite, Pain au Chocolate, which I'm sure she'll post about. I went with the twice baked Ham & Cheese Croissant...toasted. Let me tell you, this is toasted, cheesy, flaky, yuminess. While a bit on the expensive side for a breakfast sandwich ($9), it is really good.

They start with a fresh, flaky croissant, no doubt made with a lot of butter. They slice it and layer in ham and Swiss cheese. Next, they take more cheese and put that on top of the croissant. Lastly, the toast the whole thing so that everything is warm, melted, and has just a bit of crunch to every bite. What a way to start the day!
