Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches

These Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches are the perfect way to start your day! Flaky, buttery croissants filled with savory scrambled eggs, crispy bacon or sausage, melted cheese, and a touch of creamy sauce. These sandwiches are customizable to suit your taste and are great for busy mornings, brunch, or a breakfast-for-dinner option!

Ingredients:

4 large croissants (fresh or store-bought)
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 slices of cheddar, Swiss, or American cheese (or your favorite cheese)
4 slices cooked bacon or 4 sausage patties (or both)
1 tbsp butter
Optional toppings: avocado slices, tomato slices, hot sauce, or mayo

Instructions:

Prep the croissants: Slice the croissants in half horizontally, leaving them hinged if possible (like a sandwich bun). If they’re not pre-baked, warm them in the oven for a few minutes until flaky and golden.
Cook the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and just set (about 3-5 minutes). Keep them soft and creamy, not too dry.
Cook the bacon or sausage: While the eggs are cooking, heat the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally until crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Alternatively, cook the sausage patties in the same way, then set aside once cooked through.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place the bottom half of each croissant on a plate. Add a slice of cheese on each croissant (the warmth of the croissant will slightly melt the cheese). Top with a generous scoop of scrambled eggs, then add bacon or sausage on top.
Top and serve: Place the other half of the croissant on top to complete the sandwich. If desired, add avocado, tomato slices, hot sauce, or mayo for extra flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

For extra flavor: Add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or onions for a veggie-packed breakfast sandwich.
Make it your way: Swap the bacon or sausage for ham, turkey, or even breakfast potatoes for a different twist.
Make ahead: You can make the scrambled eggs and cook the bacon or sausage ahead of time, then just assemble the sandwiches in the morning for a quick breakfast.
For a crispy croissant: If you like a crispy, buttery croissant, you can toast the croissant halves lightly before assembling the sandwich.
