Ingredients
Scale
- 4 croissants (large, sliced in half)
- 4 eggs (large)
- 4 slices cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
- 4 slices meat (cooked bacon, sausage patties, or deli ham)
- ½ cup spinach (sauteed)
- ½ cup mushrooms (sauteed)
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Sliced avocado
- Tomato slices
Instructions
- Egg Preparation: Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until thoroughly blended. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then gently fold eggs until softly scrambled. Transfer eggs to a separate dish.
- Sandwich Construction: Carefully split croissants, layering the bottom half with scrambled eggs, cheese slice, and selected breakfast protein (bacon, sausage, or ham). Incorporate optional enhancements like creamy avocado or fresh spinach leaves.
- Heating and Finishing: Position croissant top over assembled ingredients. Warm sandwiches either in the skillet or within a preheated oven at 350F (175C) for 5-7 minutes, ensuring cheese melts completely and ingredients are heated through.
- Presentation: Plate sandwiches immediately, accompanied by complementary sides such as vibrant fresh fruit or crispy hash browns. Serve while warm for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Softly scramble eggs by gently stirring and removing from heat just before fully set to prevent rubbery, overcooked texture.
- Use medium-low heat when melting cheese to ensure smooth, even coverage without burning or separating.
- Choose pre-cooked breakfast meats like crispy bacon or pre-grilled sausage for faster assembly and enhanced flavor profile.
- Lightly toast croissants before assembling to enhance buttery flavor and prevent soggy sandwich bottoms.
