Base Ingredients
- Fresh Croissants – 4 high-quality or freshly baked croissants
- Eggs – 4 farm-fresh eggs
- Bacon or Sausage – 6 slices of bacon or equivalent sausage links

- Fresh Greens or Tomatoes – 1 cup mixed fresh greens or tomato slices
Optional Variations

- Prep Your Ingredients: Gather croissants, eggs, cheese, and preferred protein. Cook bacon or sausage first if using, and chop any veggies or greens you’d like to add.
- Cook the Eggs: Prepare eggs to your liking—scrambled, fried, or omelet style. Keep warm while toasting croissants.
- Toast the Croissants: Slice croissants in half and toast lightly in a skillet or oven until golden and crisp on edges for enhanced flavor and texture.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Layer cooked eggs, protein, cheese, and fresh veggies inside toasted croissant halves. The warmth will help melt the cheese perfectly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Press sandwich gently, slice if desired, and serve immediately. Add sides or garnishes as preferred.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for even cooking and perfect melting.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking proteins to ensure crispiness.
- Lightly butter croissants before toasting for extra golden crispness.
- Choose cheeses that melt well like cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella.
- Customize heat level with spicy sauces or fresh peppers.
