These crispy croissant breakfast sandwiches combine flaky croissants, crispy bacon, and soft eggs for a nostalgic and delicious morning treat. Perfect for quick weekday breakfasts or cozy weekend brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large croissants, preferably day-old
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar or Swiss cheese (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Mayonnaise or Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place 8 slices of thick-cut bacon in a cold non-stick skillet. Turn heat to medium and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  3. Prepare the eggs your preferred way: for fried eggs, melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over medium-low heat, crack eggs gently, season with salt and pepper, and cook until whites are set but yolks slightly runny (3-4 minutes). For scrambled, whisk eggs with salt and pepper and cook gently while stirring until just set.
  4. Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the cut sides.
  5. Place croissant halves cut side up on the baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. Spread mayonnaise or Dijon mustard on the bottom halves if desired. Layer with crispy bacon, cooked eggs, and cheese slices if using. Top with croissant halves.
  7. Optionally, return assembled sandwiches to the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt cheese and warm through.
  8. Garnish with fresh chopped herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

Use day-old croissants for better toasting and less sogginess. Cook eggs gently on medium-low heat to keep them tender. Toast croissants in the oven rather than a toaster to preserve flaky layers. Assemble sandwiches quickly after toasting for best texture. For dairy-free or vegetarian versions, substitute bacon with plant-based alternatives and butter/cheese with vegan options.
