Full Recipe:
4 large croissants
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 slices cheddar cheese
8 slices cooked bacon
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Optional: mayonnaise and Dijon mustard for spreading
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Croissants: Slice each croissant in half horizontally. If desired, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the cut sides.
Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.
Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are softly scrambled and cooked through.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each croissant. Add two slices of bacon and a generous portion of scrambled eggs. Top with the other half of the croissant.
Warm the Sandwiches: Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and warm them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are slightly toasted.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
