The right ingredients make a great croissant breakfast sandwich. Start with flaky, buttery croissants. They provide the base and add a rich taste. I prefer large croissants that are light and airy. They hold up well with fillings.

Ingredients
  

4 large buttery croissants

4 large eggs

4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese

8 slices of cooked bacon or 1 cup of sautéed spinach (for a vegetarian option)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 tablespoon of finely chopped chives

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon butter

Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will be used to melt the cheese on the croissants later.

    Cook the Eggs: In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Season with salt and pepper.

      Cook Until Just Set: Cook the eggs until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still slightly runny, about 3 to 4 minutes. If you prefer your yolks harder, cook for an additional minute.

        Prepare the Croissants: While the eggs are cooking, slice the croissants in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet.

          Layer the Fillings: On each bottom half of the croissant, first add a slice of cheddar cheese, followed by a slice or two of bacon (or spinach), then top with a cooked egg and a few slices of avocado. Sprinkle with chopped chives for an added flavor burst.

            Melt the Cheese: Place the baking sheet with the assembled croissant sandwiches in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Finish and Serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove the sandwiches from the oven and place the top half of the croissant over each sandwich. Optionally, drizzle with hot sauce for a spicy kick.

                Cut and Enjoy: Slice the sandwiches in half, serve warm, and enjoy a delicious and indulgent breakfast!
