🥐 Ingredients (serves 2)

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons butter or oil

🍳 Instructions
-
Prepare croissants:
-
Slice each croissant in half horizontally.
-
Toast lightly if desired for extra crispiness.
-
-
Cook eggs:
-
Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
-
Scramble the eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper, or cook them fried/over-easy depending on preference.
-
-
Assemble sandwich:
-
Place cooked eggs on the bottom half of each croissant.
-
Top with slices of cheese (and optional fillings).
-
Cover with the top half of the croissant.
-
-
Melt cheese (optional):
-
Place assembled sandwiches back in the skillet on low heat or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
-
-
Serve:
-
Serve warm with a side of fruit, hash browns, or a small salad.
-
✅ Tips:
-
For extra flavor, spread a little mayonnaise, mustard, or pesto inside the croissant.
-
Add sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, onions, or peppers for a hearty breakfast sandwich.
-
Croissants can be pre-baked slightly if using cold eggs to prevent sogginess.
I can also give you a baked version where you make a mini egg-and-cheese casserole inside croissant halves for a quick batch breakfast. Do you want that version?
