Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 2 large croissants
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Toppings
- Sliced avocado
- Spinach
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Scramble the Eggs: Melt the butter in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and scramble them gently, stirring constantly until they form soft, creamy curds. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
- Toast the Croissants: Slice the croissants in half, optionally leaving a hinge for easier assembly. Lightly toast the croissant halves in the oven or skillet until just golden and warm.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Layer the scrambled eggs evenly onto the bottom half of each toasted croissant. Immediately top the eggs with shredded cheddar cheese so it begins to melt from the warmth of the eggs.
- Add Bacon and Toppings: Place the crispy bacon slices on top of the cheese. Add any optional toppings you prefer such as sliced avocado, fresh spinach, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Warm to Melt Cheese: Close the sandwiches with the top croissant halves and place them in a preheated 350°F oven for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely and the sandwich components to warm through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the croissant breakfast sandwiches hot, enjoying the perfect combination of flavors and textures.
Notes
- For a vegetarian variation, omit the bacon and add extra cheese or sautéed mushrooms.
- To make ahead, cook bacon and scramble eggs in advance. Reheat sandwiches briefly before serving.
- Use whole wheat or multigrain croissants for a healthier twist.
- If you prefer, toast the croissants under the broiler for 1–2 minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Adjust seasoning in the eggs if desired, adding herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
