Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Large croissants
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 Bacon slices
- 2 Cheddar cheese slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Slice the croissants in half horizontally and set them aside.
In a medium non-stick frying pan, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until they are crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
While the bacon is cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well combined.
Drain excess bacon fat from the pan, leaving about a teaspoon, then add the butter and allow it to melt over medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it cook gently, stirring occasionally to scramble, until the eggs are just set but still a little soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Turn off the heat and immediately transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate to prevent further cooking.
Place the bottom halves of the croissants on a baking sheet. Place one slice of cheddar cheese on each bottom half.
Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese, followed by two slices of bacon per sandwich.
Cover with the croissant tops and place the baking sheet in the oven for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the croissants are warm and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious bacon, egg, and cheese croissants!
