Description
Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches are a delicious morning treat featuring flaky croissants filled with scrambled eggs, cheese, and your choice of bacon or sausage.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large croissants
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 slices cooked bacon or sausage patties
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Slice each croissant in half horizontally and place the bottom halves on a baking sheet.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon or sausage until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft. Remove from heat.
- Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over the bottom halves of the croissants.
- Top the eggs with a slice of bacon or a sausage patty, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the top halves of the croissants over the cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon or sausage with sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms.
- Add a slice of avocado or a dollop of salsa for an extra layer of flavor.
