Scale
- 2 large buttery croissants
- 8 slices of crispy bacon
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it is crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise or mustard on the bottom half of each croissant, if using. Layer scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon on the bottom halves. Top with the other half of the croissant.
- Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled sandwiches back in the oven for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a slice of tomato or a handful of arugula before closing the sandwich.
- If you prefer, substitute bacon with turkey bacon or grilled ham.
- Consider using different types of cheese, such as Swiss or Gouda, to change the flavor profile.
- To make the croissants extra flaky, lightly brush them with melted butter before toasting.
