Ingredients

• 2 Large croissants
• 4 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 Bacon slices
• 2 Cheddar cheese slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Slice the croissants in half horizontally and set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium non-stick frying pan, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until they are crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 3

While the bacon is cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well combined.

Step 4

Drain excess bacon fat from the pan, leaving about a teaspoon, then add the butter and allow it to melt over medium heat.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it cook gently, stirring occasionally to scramble, until the eggs are just set but still a little soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Turn off the heat and immediately transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate to prevent further cooking.

Step 7

Place the bottom halves of the croissants on a baking sheet. Place one slice of cheddar cheese on each bottom half.

Step 8

Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese, followed by two slices of bacon per sandwich.

Step 9

Cover with the croissant tops and place the baking sheet in the oven for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the croissants are warm and slightly crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious bacon, egg, and cheese croissants!
