Hearty Croissant Sandwich

Biting into a warm croissant packed with fluffy scrambled eggs, crunchy bacon, and gooey cheddar is pure comfort. It’s the kind of morning treat that makes weekends awesome but is so fast you could make it any time. The crisp croissant with all those rich fillings just hits the spot and takes care of every craving you’ve got.

My family begs for these at the end of every week. There are times I whip up a double batch since everyone always asks for another. Bet you’ll start having these in your regular breakfast plans too.

Tasty Ingredients

• Cooked bacon: Crunchy and smoky Try thick slices—they give more texture and flavor Baking gets them nice and even
• Cheddar cheese: Tangy, melts smooth The sharper, the more delicious Slice it yourself from a block if possible
• Large croissants: Flaky and buttery hunts Pick the freshest at the store or refresh older ones by warming
• Mayonnaise: Spreads on creamy and moist Go for regular mayo, that’s the real deal
• Butter: Adds that creamy, extra-rich taste Using European butter really amps up the flavor
• Salt and black pepper: Brings out all the tasty notes Sprinkling a little flaky salt tastes even better
• Large eggs: Fluffy protein stars Try free-range or farmer’s market eggs for a richer bite
• Dijon mustard: Lifts the flavors with some zip Pick one made with white wine for a fancier feel

Simple Steps

Serve Fresh:

Dive in while everything’s warm and gooey The croissant will be extra flaky and the cheese all melted

Stack Eggs and Close:

Spoon scrambled eggs onto each sandwich Put the top half of your croissant back and press gently so it all stays together

Add the Cheese and Bacon:

Lay your cheddar slice onto the bottom side Pop your crispy bacon on next The heat helps the cheese go melty

Slather on Spreads:

While croissants are hot, smooth mayo over the bottom and Dijon on top Use as much or little as you like

Get Croissants Toasty:

Lay out the sliced croissants, cut sides up, on a baking tray Toast for about five minutes till they’re barely crisp and warmed up

Cut the Croissants:

Take a bread knife and slice each croissant in half. Stop just before cutting through, so they hinge like a book

Sprinkle & Fold the Eggs:

When the eggs are softly cooked, toss on the salt and pepper Fold those eggs into halves or quarters, whichever fits on your croissant best

Scramble the Eggs:

Tip the eggs into the pan. Don’t stir at first—wait a minute or two. As the sides set, gently lift with a spatula and let raw egg slide underneath so it cooks evenly

Melt Butter:

Toss butter in the preheated skillet and swirl it so nothing sticks and the eggs are creamy as can be

Whisk Those Eggs:

Crack eggs in a bowl, keep shells out. Whip with a fork, getting them smooth and frothy

Heat Your Pan:

Let your skillet sit on medium for a couple minutes until nice and warm. You want it hot but not so hot it smokes before you add eggs

Warm Up the Oven:

Switch your oven on to 350°F If you heat croissants here, they’ll get back their shatter-y texture

It’s that cheddar that does it for me. The way it melts over hot bacon and eggs is amazing. My kid once tried it with Swiss so now we’re always arguing which cheese wins every Sunday morning

How to Store

If you’ve got leftovers, wrap sandwiches up tight in foil then pop in the fridge for a day Use the oven to warm them instead of the microwave to keep them crisp For freezing, put them together but skip the spreads, tightly wrap, then thaw and smear with mayo and mustard after you warm them up

Swaps and Changes

Try ham or turkey instead of bacon. If you don’t eat meat, toss in sautéed spinach or mushrooms. No cheddar? Swiss, mozzarella, or brie work too. Want it lighter? Grab whole wheat croissants or leave out the mayo

Ways to Enjoy

Add fresh fruit on the side or just make some coffee. It’s easy to set out as a brunch bar too—bring out different cheeses and spreads so everyone can build their own. Sometimes we do a make-your-own croissant station and it’s a hit

Where It Comes From

Croissants bring classic French style to your table, but turning them into a sandwich with eggs and bacon is such a fun American twist. Mixing soft pastry with savory toppings makes it both fancy and comfy, and my family loves that
