Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 10 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients:
1 large butter croissant
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk or cream (for fluffier eggs)
2-3 strips of bacon (cooked until ultra-crispy)
A few fresh lettuce leaves
1 tablespoon cream cheese (broken into small dollops)
2 tablespoons roma tomatoes, finely diced
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)
1 teaspoon butter (for cooking the eggs)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prep the Croissant: Carefully slice your croissant horizontally through the middle using a serrated knife. Optional: Toast the inside faces in a dry pan for 1 minute for a warm, sturdy base.
Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, fry your bacon strips until they are perfectly golden brown and crispy. Remove them and place them on a paper towel to drain.
Scramble the Eggs: Whisk the eggs, milk, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper together in a small bowl. Wipe down your skillet, melt 1 teaspoon of butter over medium-low heat, and pour in the eggs. Gently push the eggs across the pan with a spatula to create soft, tender folds. Remove from heat just before they fully dry out.
Assemble the Base: Lay the bottom half of the croissant on a plate. Layer the fresh lettuce leaves first to act as a barrier, then pile your warm scrambled eggs right on top.
Layer the Toppings: Lay your crispy bacon strips directly across the eggs. Dot the sandwich with small dollops of cream cheese, and sprinkle the finely diced red tomatoes and fresh parsley across the top.
Close & Serve: Place the top half of the flaky croissant on top, press down gently, and serve immediately! (Feel free to serve with a side of crispy french fries and a quick dipping sauce to match the photo perfectly!)
