Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large croissants
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp. Remove the bacon and set it aside, keeping the rendered fat in the pan.
- Wipe out excess fat if necessary, then melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your preference (sunny-side up or scrambled).
- Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Lightly toast the cut sides of the croissants in a toaster oven or on a dry skillet until just warm and slightly crisp.
- Place one slice of cheese on the bottom half of each croissant.
- Layer the cooked bacon and then the egg on top of the cheese.
- Place the top half of the croissant on the sandwich. Serve immediately for the best texture.
Notes
- For a make ahead breakfast sandwich, cook the bacon and eggs ahead of time and store them separately. Reheat them before assembling.
- To keep the croissant flaky, only toast the cut sides briefly. Do not press down on the croissant while assembling.
- Use good quality, all-butter croissants for the best flavor in your savory croissant recipe.
