Description
Delicious croissant breakfast sandwiches filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon or sausage, and melted mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 buttery croissants
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices crispy bacon or breakfast sausage links
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh basil or mixed greens (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper, whisking until smooth and frothy.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture.
- Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fluffy and just set, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Carefully slice each croissant in half lengthwise.
- On the bottom half of each croissant, place a piece of bacon or a sausage link, followed by a generous portion of the scrambled eggs, a handful of mozzarella cheese, and a few leaves of fresh basil or mixed greens if desired.
- Cap each sandwich with the top half of the croissant.
- Arrange the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the croissants are golden.
- Serve warm and relish this delightful breakfast treat!
Notes
- For a twist, try adding sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers for added flavor.
- Substitute the mozzarella with feta or goat cheese for a different taste experience.
