Description
Breakfast croissant sandwiches with fluffy eggs, melty cheese, and crispy bacon are perfect for weekday mornings or special weekend brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 large croissants
- 1 cup (about 3 ounces) grated Colby Jack cheese
Instructions
Cook the Bacon
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a 13-inch x 18-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil. This will make clean-up easier. If you prefer, you can also spray the baking sheet with cooking spray instead of lining it with aluminum foil.
- Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on the backing sheet. Leave space between the slices.
- Bake the bacon for 10-20 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon.
- When bacon is crisp, remove from the oven and place the bacon on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
Cook the Eggs
- Break eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk with a fork or a whisk until well combined, and there are no streaks of egg white. Add salt and beat well.
- Place butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the beaten eggs. With a spatula or spoon, make large curds by pulling them across the bottom of the pan. Continue until the eggs are just set.
- Remove pan from heat.
Assemble the Sandwiches
- Line a 13-inch x 18-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Cut the croissants in half horizontally with a bread knife or a serrated knife.
- Open the croissants and place them cut sides up on the prepared sheet pan.
- Place 2 slices of bacon on the bottom half of each croissant.
- Distribute 1/2 cup scrambled egg on top of the bacon on each croissant.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated cheese over the eggs of each of the croissants.
- Place the tops of the croissants on the filling mixture.
- Bake 8-10 minutes or until the tops of the croissants are slightly brown and the cheese has melted.
- Remove from oven and cool a few minutes before eating.
- Enjoy!
Notes
When slicing croissants, always use a bread knife or serrated knife as a regular knife can tear them apart due to their delicate texture.
