Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches
These 4-ingredient Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches are a delicious way to make mornings easier. Enjoy them fresh, or prep a batch ahead to freeze for busy mornings or grab-and-go lunches. They reheat beautifully and taste just as delicious as the day you made them.
Ingredients
- 12 mini croissants* (about 10 ounces; halved horizontally)
- 1/2 tablespoon butter (enough to coat the bottom of the pan)
- 8 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- 6 tablespoons milk (any kind)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 12 slices fully-cooked bacon (halved)
- 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese (halved)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lay croissants open on a sheet pan and toast in the oven until they start to brown, approx 3-4 minutes. (This is an optional step but recommended.)
- In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until bubbly (but do not let it brown). Add egg mixture to the skillet and scramble gently with a spatula until cooked through, 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
- Evenly divide scrambled eggs among the bottom of the croissants. Top each sandwich with two halved pieces of bacon and 1 halved slice of cheese. Place the tops on each sandwich.
- Bake on the sheet pan for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt.
- Serve warm immediately.
Freezer Instructions
Freeze For Later: Follow steps 1-5. Wrap each sandwich in foil, place in a freezer bag (squeeze out excess air), and freeze.
Prepare from Frozen: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place frozen breakfast sandwiches that are still wrapped in foil in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, thaw overnight in the fridge and bake at 350°F in the oven for about 5-10 minutes.
Notes/Tips
- *”Mini” croissants are not a standard size in stores. We noticed every store/bakery has a different size of “mini”. So, we gave you the ounces as a way to judge what size to choose. You may turn out a few more or less sandwiches than us because of that. But this recipe is hard to mess up!
- Check ingredients on the croissants. We noticed that the butter only croissants often have far fewer, cleaner ingredients.
- Toasting the croissants is optional. My family preferred them this way as it provided a little more texture but when I tested not toasting them, the sandwiches were still delicious.
- You could easily substitute deli ham in for the bacon or swap in a different kind of cheese.
