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.
