Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Low fat croissants
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Skim milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Low-fat cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional)
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm the croissants.
Cut each croissant in half horizontally and place them on a baking sheet. Once the oven is ready, warm the croissants for about 5 minutes until they are just slightly crisp and warm.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the skim milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to set slightly before gently stirring with a spatula to create soft curds.
Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the eggs are cooked through but still soft and creamy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
If using, stir in the low-fat cheese until melted.
Remove the croissants from the oven. Place an equal portion of the scrambled eggs onto the bottom half of each croissant.
Sprinkle chopped chives over the eggs, if using, then top with the other half of the croissant.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat croissant with scrambled eggs!
