Description
The easiest and probably the most delicious breakfast sandwich you’ll ever make. This Bacon Egg & Cheese on a Croissant is buttery, rich, and filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 croissants
- 2 eggs
- 4–6 slices of bacon
- 1 slice muenster cheese
- 1 slice american cheese
- 1/2 an avocado
- ketchup
- kosher salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F degrees.
- Place bacon on a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil, and cook in the oven for 16 minutes.
- Slice the croissants in half. A serrated knife works best, since the jagged edges create a clean slice.
- Toast the croissant halves in a pan over medium heat with a tiny drizzle of olive oil, until the insides are golden brown.
- Slice your avocado and reserve half for each sandwich. I like to put 1/4 of an avocado on each sandwich.
- Fry your egg to your liking in a nonstick pan. Place both the muenster and american cheese slices on top of the egg to melt. Remove from pan.
- Remove the bacon from the oven after 16 minutes. Spread ketchup (or whatever condiment you like) on the bottom half of the croissants. Place the egg with cheese on top of the ketchup, bacon on top of that, and the sliced avocado to top it all off. Place the top half of the croissant on top of the sandwich and serve immediately.
Notes
Croissants contain a good amount of butter, so you will not need a lot of oil to toast them. The butter within them works its magic, beautifully.
A serrated knife or a bread knife has a blade with ridges that helps to slice bread effortlessly.
You can top this sandwich with any condiments you like. Chipotle mayo was an after thought to me, but it would work beautifully here.
