Cook Time: 5–7 minutes
Total Time: 10–12 minutes
🧂 Ingredients (per sandwich)
-
1 croissant (buttery, fresh, or store-bought)
-
1–2 large eggs
-
1–2 slices cheese (Cheddar, Swiss, or American work well)
-
1 tsp butter or oil

👩🍳 Instructions
-
Prep the Croissant:
Slice the croissant horizontally, leaving a hinge if you like it attached, or cut fully in half. -
Cook the Eggs:
-
Scrambled: Beat eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Pour in eggs and cook, stirring gently, until just set.
-
Fried/Over-Easy: Heat butter in a skillet over medium. Crack eggs in and cook to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
-
-
Assemble the Sandwich:
Place cooked eggs on the bottom half of the croissant.
Add cheese immediately so it melts from the residual heat.
Add any optional extras (bacon, ham, avocado, or veggies).
Top with the croissant top. -
Optional: Melt the Cheese Further
Place the assembled sandwich in a skillet over low heat, cover, and cook 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melty. -
Serve:
Enjoy warm with coffee, fruit, or a side salad.
🥄 Tips & Variations
-
Make-ahead: Cook eggs and store in the fridge for a quick breakfast sandwich in the morning.
-
Cheese varieties: Gruyère or Pepper Jack add a gourmet twist.
-
Extra indulgent: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or herb butter on the croissant before assembling.
-
Vegetarian option: Add sautéed mushrooms, roasted peppers, or fresh spinach.
If you want, I can give a “oven-baked” version where you assemble several croissant sandwiches and bake them so the cheese is perfectly melted and the croissants are warm throughout — great for feeding a crowd. Do you want that version?
