Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 2 large croissants
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Croissants: Slice each croissant in half horizontally. If the croissants are not fresh, toast them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes to warm and slightly crisp the bread.
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Once done, drain the bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease and set aside.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Scramble the Eggs: Melt the butter in a nonstick pan over low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook slowly, stirring constantly to gently scramble them until they are soft, creamy, and just set.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place two slices of crispy bacon on the bottom half of each croissant. Then, evenly divide the scrambled eggs between the two sandwiches.
- Add Cheese (Optional): Top the eggs with a slice of cheddar cheese if using, allowing it to melt slightly from the warmth of the eggs.
- Close and Serve: Place the top half of the croissant onto each sandwich. Serve warm immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese such as Swiss or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
- For a healthier option, replace bacon with turkey bacon or turkey sausage.
- To make it vegetarian, omit the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
- Prepare the scrambled eggs over low heat to ensure they remain creamy and tender.
- These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped and reheated gently the next day.
