Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Low-sodium turkey bacon
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 1 slice Low-sodium Swiss cheese
- 1 whole Croissant
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the low-sodium turkey bacon slices. Cook until they are browned and crisp, about 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and add a pinch of black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt, coating the bottom of the pan.
Pour the eggs into the skillet. Stir gently and continuously with a spatula until soft curds form and eggs are fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and set aside.
While the eggs are cooking, cut the croissant in half horizontally and place it on a baking sheet.
Place the slice of low-sodium Swiss cheese on the top half of the croissant. Warm the croissant in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and the croissant is lightly toasted.
Remove the croissant from the oven. Assemble the sandwich by placing the cooked turkey bacon on the bottom half of the croissant, followed by the scrambled eggs.
Top the eggs with the cheese-topped croissant half. If using, sprinkle chives over the eggs for an added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium bacon egg and cheese croissant.
