Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Croissants
- 2 pieces Large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole Milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 4 pieces Bacon Strips
- 2 slices Cheddar Cheese
- 2 teaspoons Maple Syrup
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the croissants on a baking sheet. Warm them in the oven for 5-7 minutes until slightly toasted but still soft.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and fry the bacon strips until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until well combined.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the eggs are soft and creamy. Remove from heat.
Slice the warmed croissants horizontally in half. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each croissant.
Layer each croissant with two strips of bacon and half of the scrambled eggs.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of maple syrup over the eggs on each sandwich for a touch of sweetness.
Close the sandwiches with the top half of the croissants and press gently.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sweet and salty breakfast sandwich!
