Ingredients
Scale
Croissant Sandwich
- 6 croissants, halved
- 6 slices turkey bacon
- 6 slices extra sharp cheddar cheese
Soft Scrambled Eggs
- 8 eggs
- ¼ cup half and half
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare croissants: Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment baking paper. Slice the croissants in half and place them cut side up on the prepared sheet pan.
- Toast croissants: Toast the croissant halves in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes until they turn golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid over-toasting.
- Cook turkey bacon: In a nonstick skillet or on another sheet pan in the oven, cook the turkey bacon slices until they are crisp. Set aside.
- Prepare soft scrambled eggs: Melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over high heat until bubbly and very hot. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the half and half. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet, immediately reduce heat to medium, and stir gently with a rubber spatula to gently break up the eggs as they cook. Remove from heat while eggs are golden brown but still slightly soft.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each toasted croissant on the sheet pan. Top with a strip of turkey bacon and then evenly divide and add the soft scrambled eggs over the bacon.
- Bake to finish: Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese melts and sandwiches are thoroughly heated and toasty.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and enjoy immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- Watch the croissants carefully during toasting to prevent burning.
- Use freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt for best seasoning in eggs.
- Soft scrambled eggs should remain slightly creamy and not overcooked.
- Feel free to substitute turkey bacon with regular bacon if preferred.
- Additional toppings such as sliced avocado or tomato can be added for extra flavor.
