Essential Ingredients

Insights on Ingredients

• Croissants – Whether homemade or freshly purchased from a bakery, both are excellent choices for this recipe.
• Eggs – Standard eggs are ideal, but you might opt for liquid eggs or just egg whites for a lighter alternative.
• Avocado – Ensure they are ripe; they should feel firm with a slight give when gently pressed.
• Bacon – You can choose thick-cut, standard, or even turkey bacon for a leaner meal option.
• White cheddar cheese – This mild cheese adds wonderful flavor, though any variety is acceptable. Slices are handy, but shredded or block cheese will also work.
• Salt & Black pepper – Add according to your preference.

Add-ins and Substitutions

• Try various egg styles – Cook the eggs any way you like: sunny side up, over-easy, or scrambled to discover your ideal texture and taste.
• Add sauces – Enhance the flavor of your Croissant Breakfast Sandwich with sauces like ketchup, hot sauce, pesto, or aioli.
• Explore different meats and cheeses – While I enjoy this specific combination, consider trying sausage patties, ham, pepperjack cheese, or gouda for a delightful twist. The options are limitless.
• Incorporate vegetables – Add color and flavor with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, or any other preferred veggies.

Making a Croissant Breakfast Sandwich

• Cook the eggs. Fry the eggs, seasoning them according to your taste.
• Toast the croissant. Slice the croissant and toast each half to your preference.
• Assemble the sandwich. Start with the bottom half of the toasted croissant, layer on white cheddar, bacon, eggs, and avocado, then cap it with the top half. Enjoy!

Pro Tip: To keep the yolk intact, use a nonstick pan with a bit of oil. Gently shake the pan to avoid sticking before adding the eggs onto your croissants.

Cooking Tips

• Don’t forget to toast the croissant: This enhances flavor and provides the necessary stability to hold the delicious fillings you’re about to add.
• Keep the eggs flat: When scrambling, try to maintain a flat surface. This will help layer them better and prevent large clumps from tipping your sandwich.
• Cook the bacon first: Since bacon requires more time to cook than eggs, start with it first. This way, your eggs and toasted croissant stay warm while the bacon crisps up. Once finished, place the bacon between paper towels to absorb excess grease.

Frequently Asked Questions

Croissants are a variety of French pastry made with butter, all-purpose flour, sugar, and yeast. A true croissant displays a golden, crispy outer shell with numerous buttery, flaky layers inside.

As bacon cooks, the meat contracts faster than the fat, causing the latter to bunch. To reduce curling, try baking it under a sheet pan or flipping the strips frequently while frying.
