Croissant Breakfast Sandwich with Bacon and Cheddar Recipe
Introduction
Start your day with a warm and satisfying Croissant Breakfast Sandwich. This recipe combines flaky croissants, crispy bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar cheese for a delicious morning treat that’s ready in just 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 large croissants
- 8 slices bacon
- 8 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Step 2: Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until crispy to your liking. Remove the bacon and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the cold water until well combined.
- Step 4: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook slowly, gently pushing the cooked eggs from the center to the edges with a rubber spatula, allowing fluffy curds to form.
- Step 5: Toast the croissants until golden. Then assemble each sandwich by layering a slice of cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs, cooked bacon, and another slice of cheese inside the croissant.
- Step 6: Place the assembled sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Serve warm.
Tips & Variations
- For a fresh twist, add sliced avocado or tomato inside the sandwich before baking.
- Swap cheddar for Swiss or pepper jack cheese to change up the flavor profile.
- Use turkey bacon or sausage patties for a different protein option.
- Cooking the eggs low and slow helps keep them soft and fluffy.
Storage
Store leftover sandwiches wrapped tightly in foil or airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes or until warmed through and cheese is melted. Avoid microwaving to keep the croissant crispy.

Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 large croissants
- 8 slices bacon
- 8 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the bacon and melting the cheese on the assembled sandwiches.
- Cook Bacon: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the bacon reaches your desired crispiness. Once done, remove the bacon and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Prepare Eggs: While the bacon is baking, beat the eggs and cold water together in a large bowl to help make the eggs fluffy when cooked.
- Scramble Eggs: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook slowly, gently pushing the cooked portions of eggs outward with a rubber spatula to create fluffy, soft scrambled eggs.
- Toast Croissants and Assemble: Toast the croissants lightly. Then, assemble each sandwich by layering a slice of cheddar cheese, a portion of scrambled eggs, the crispy bacon, and topping with another slice of cheddar cheese.
- Bake Sandwiches: Place the assembled sandwiches on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely, bringing all the flavors together.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add sliced avocado or tomato in the sandwich before baking.
- Using cold water in the eggs helps yield fluffier scrambled eggs.
- Make sure not to overcook the eggs; they should remain soft and creamy.
- Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven or toaster oven.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like Swiss or Monterey Jack.
