Description
Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches are a delicious morning treat filled with cheesy scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, and fresh avocado, all nestled in a flaky croissant.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large croissants
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 slices cooked bacon or 8 sausage patties
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh spinach or arugula (optional)
- Butter for greasing the skillet
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice the croissants in half horizontally and place them on a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to grease the pan. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well mixed.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a layer of cooked bacon or sausage on the bottom half of each croissant. Top with a generous scoop of the cheesy scrambled eggs, followed by slices of avocado and fresh spinach or arugula if desired. Place the top half of the croissant on each sandwich.
- Bake the assembled sandwiches in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the croissants are warm and slightly crispy.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious breakfast sandwiches!
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon or sausage with sautéed mushrooms or roasted red peppers.
- Add a dash of hot sauce or your favorite seasoning to the egg mixture for an extra kick of flavor.
