Ingredients For Croissant Breakfast Sandwich
To print: see recipe card below
- 2 croissants – Use large, fresh, buttery croissants so they hold all the ingredients.
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices bacon – Make sure to cook your bacon ahead of time. I love my baked bacon!
- 3 eggs – Here’s how to make the fluffiest scrambled eggs.
- 2 tablespoons milk – Whole milk will yield the richest flavor and fluffies texture, but any dairy or non-dairy milk will work.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil – You can use cooking spray if preferred.
- 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese – For the best results, buy a block of cheese and grate it yourself. Pre-shredded varieties contain anti-caking agents that prevent them from melting as well!
Variations
- Add vegetables like peppers or onions to the scrambled eggs.
- Slice tomato or avocado to add to the sandwich.
- Add a different cheese to the scrambled eggs.
- Omit the bacon completely. Or, swap it out with breakfast sausage or a vegetarian meat alternative.

- Prepare: Before you begin, preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Layer the ingredients: Place the bottom half of each croissant on a baking sheet. Top each croissant half with two slices of bacon and one slice of cheese.
- Whisk the eggs: Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Then, add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk to combine.
- Scramble the eggs: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. Cook, stirring slowly, scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir in the pepper jack cheese, and continue to cook the eggs to your preferred doneness.
- Layer again: Divide the scrambled egg mixture evenly between the croissants, layering them on top of the cheese. Then, place the second half of the croissants on top to create a sandwich.
- Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven, and bake for five minutes or just long enough to melt the cheese. Enjoy warm!
Serving Suggestions
Pair your breakfast croissant sandwiches with hot sauce, garlic aioli, chipotle mayo, salsa, or ketchup for dipping. Enjoy them on their own or with a side of fresh fruit if you’re feeling extra hungry.
How to Store + Freeze Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches
- Store leftover breakfast sandwiches in the fridge for up to two weeks. To keep them fresh, wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then, store them in a sealable bag.
- Freeze the sandwiches for two to three months. Wrap them in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe sealable bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight to reheat.
- Reheat your croissant breakfast sandwiches in the microwave just until warm.
Quick Tip
Be careful not to overcook the eggs! A soft scramble is perfect for this recipe. Remember, the eggs will continue to cook as they cool.
Then, we cook them further when we toast the croissants in the oven! If the eggs overcook in the pan, they will be tough and rubbery when it’s time to eat.
