Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large croissants
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Avocado
- 0.5 cup Fresh salsa
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Slice each croissant in half horizontally to make a top and bottom layer. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add salt and black pepper, then mix again.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, pour in the whisked eggs.
Scramble the eggs gently, stirring frequently, until they are soft and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash it lightly with a fork and season with a pinch of salt.
In the same skillet, add a teaspoon of olive oil and lightly toast the cut sides of the croissants until golden and slightly crispy.
Assemble the croissant: On the bottom half, spread the mashed avocado evenly. Layer on half of the scrambled eggs.
Top the eggs with a generous spoonful of fresh salsa and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Place the top half of the croissant over the fillings and gently press down to secure.
Repeat with the second croissant. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Breakfast Salsa Croissant!
