Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices cooked bacon
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
Bread and Base Ingredients:
- 2 large croissants
- 1/2 avocado (sliced, optional)
Seasoning and Preparation Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it melts and starts to foam, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Pour whisked egg mixture into the skillet, using a spatula to gently fold and scramble eggs until they are soft, fluffy, and fully cooked without browning, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove scrambled eggs from skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Using the same skillet, lightly toast croissant halves on medium-low heat until edges turn golden and crispy, approximately 1 minute per side.
- Layer bottom croissant half with a slice of cheddar cheese, creating a base for the sandwich.
- Distribute scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese, ensuring complete coverage.
- Arrange two bacon slices on top of the eggs, allowing them to slightly overlap.
- Optional: Add thin avocado slices for additional creaminess and texture.
- Place another slice of cheese on top of the bacon if desired.
- Crown the sandwich with the top croissant half and serve immediately while ingredients are warm and crisp.
Notes
- Adjust cooking technique for softer or firmer scrambled eggs by controlling heat and stirring frequency.
- Swap bacon with turkey bacon, ham, or vegetarian sausage for different dietary preferences.
- Try various cheese types like Swiss, pepper jack, or goat cheese to change flavor profile.
- Prepare components separately and assemble just before serving to maintain croissant’s crispiness and prevent sogginess.
