Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces croissants
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons green onion
Instructions
Begin by slicing the croissants in half horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through. Set aside.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the whole milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and allow it to sit undisturbed for a couple of minutes until the edges start to set.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges towards the center. Continue to do this occasionally until the eggs are just cooked, creamy, and still slightly runny.
Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once melted, sauté the cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach until the tomatoes are softened and the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs onto the bottom halves of the croissants.
Top the eggs with the sautéed cherry tomatoes and spinach.
Sprinkle each croissant with cheddar cheese and chopped green onion.
Close the croissant halves and gently press them down to secure the fillings.
Optionally, warm the filled croissants in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 3-4 minutes to melt the cheese and achieve a warm, toasty texture.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious vegetarian croissant filled with creamy scrambled eggs and fresh veggies!
