Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches


  • Author: Amelia
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 1

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sandwich:

  • 1 large croissant
  • 2 slices of halal beef bacon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 slice of cheddar cheese (or any cheese you prefer)
  • ½ tablespoon butter (for cooking the eggs)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 12 slices of avocado (optional, for creaminess)

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Hot sauce or sriracha: For a spicy kick.
  • Sliced tomatoes: Adds juiciness and freshness.
  • Baby spinach or arugula: Adds some color and nutrients.
  • Sautéed mushrooms: Adds an earthy flavor and enhances the savory profile.
  • Mayonnaise or mustard: For extra creaminess and tang.

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Halal Beef Bacon

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the halal beef bacon slices and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy. The bacon should be crisp but not burnt. Once the bacon is done, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.

Step 2: Toast the Croissant

While the bacon is cooking, slice the croissant in half horizontally. Place the cut sides down in the same skillet or a separate skillet and toast for 1-2 minutes until the insides of the croissant are golden brown and slightly crisp. This step ensures that the croissant stays flaky and doesn’t become soggy from the fillings.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat and pour the eggs in. Gently scramble the eggs, stirring frequently until they are just set but still creamy. Avoid overcooking the eggs as they should remain soft and tender to balance out the croissant’s crispy texture.

Step 4: Add the Cheese

Once the eggs are nearly done cooking, lay the slice of cheddar cheese over the top of the scrambled eggs. Allow the cheese to melt, creating a creamy, gooey layer that brings all the flavors together. You can cover the skillet for about 30 seconds to help the cheese melt faster.

Step 5: Assemble the Sandwich

Now it’s time to put your croissant breakfast sandwich together! Start by spreading a little mayonnaise or mustard (if using) on the bottom half of the croissant. Place the scrambled eggs with melted cheese on top, then add the crispy beef bacon slices. If you’re using avocado, tomato slices, or other extras, layer those on next. Top with the other half of the croissant and press down lightly to hold everything together.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Your croissant breakfast sandwich is now ready to enjoy! Serve it immediately while the croissant is warm, the eggs are creamy, and the cheese is melted. Pair it with fresh fruit, a hot cup of coffee, or a smoothie for a balanced breakfast.
