Calories: 392kcal
- 12 slices bacon
- 6 croissants plus optional toppings
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese
- Toppings Your choice of spreads, microgreens, avocado, etc.
Cook bacon by your preferred method. I prefer to cook bacon in the oven on a parchment paper lined sheet pan.
Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes, or until crispy but still flexible. Remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Keep the oven on to crisp your croissants.
If you want toppings on your croissants, brush the tops with a little oil or melted butter and sprinkle with your favorite toppings, like poppy seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
Divide half of your cheese amongst the bottom halves of the croissants and bake tops and bottoms in the oven until the tops are crispy and the cheese on the bottoms is melted.
In a small bowl, whisk your eggs with heavy cream and a pinch of salt and pepper. Then cook over low heat in a buttered nonstick pan, stirring gently until soft, creamy curds form.
Place two strips of bacon and mounds of eggs onto each bottom half and place the remaining half of your cheese on top to melt from the heat of the eggs.
If eating immediately, top with some greens, tomatoes, sliced avocado, or anything you like. Place the tops on and enjoy!
Make-ahead instructions
Slice croissants in half and layer with cooked eggs, cheese, and your choice of cooked protein (bacon, sausage, ham, etc.). Avoid fresh add-ins like tomatoes or greens to prevent sogginess.
Allow to cool completely, then wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment paper (not wax paper) and/or aluminum foil.
Place wrapped sandwiches in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container.
Label with the date and use within 1-2 months for best quality.
