Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 4 croissants (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 large eggs
• 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or American work well)
• 4 slices of cooked bacon or sausage patties (optional)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional toppings: avocado, spinach, tomato, or hot sauce

Directions

1. Prepare the Croissants: Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Toast them lightly in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden.
2. Cook the Eggs: In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still soft, or cook them to your desired level. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a slice of cheese on top of each egg while it’s still in the pan to melt slightly. On the bottom half of each toasted croissant, add a cooked egg, followed by a slice of bacon or sausage (if desired).
4. Top the Sandwich: Add any optional toppings, such as avocado, spinach, or tomato, and place the top half of the croissant over the sandwich.
5. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy while hot.
