Scrambled Egg Croissant Sandwiches Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 2 croissants, sliced in half horizontally
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
How to make Scrambled Egg Croissant Sandwiches:
Prepare the Ingredients: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with milk or cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Shred the cheese and set aside.
Cook the Scrambled Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter.
Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds until it begins to set around the edges.
Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center. Continue until the eggs are softly scrambled and slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs and let it melt slightly.
Prepare the Croissants: Lightly toast the croissant halves in a toaster or on a dry skillet until golden brown and crispy.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly onto the bottom halves of the croissants.
Top with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
Close with the top halves of the croissants.
Recipe Notes:
Egg Texture: Cook scrambled eggs over medium-low heat and remove from heat while still slightly runny — they finish cooking off-heat to stay soft and creamy.
Croissant Toasting: Lightly toast croissant halves just until golden to add crispness and prevent sogginess.
Cheese Options: Use cheddar for a classic flavor; gouda or provolone also melt well and offer different taste profiles.
Flavor Enhancements: Add cooked bacon, ham, or sautéed veggies into the egg mixture for extra depth and variation.
Herb Garnish: Fresh chives or parsley not only add color but enhance the flavor—add just before serving for maximum freshness.
