Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich on a Croissant

Originally published February 7, 2018 · Improv Oven

The best bacon egg and cheese sandwich recipe is the one you can make at home in 10 minutes flat. We use fresh croissants instead of a bagel or biscuit — buttery, flaky, and the perfect vessel for crispy bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar.

Instructions

  1. 1On medium heat, fry bacon in a skillet until crispy, about 5–10 minutes. Remove bacon and drain on a paper towel. Leave the pan on the heat.
  2. 2Beat eggs in a mixing bowl. Pour into the same pan on medium heat. As eggs begin to set, gently pull across the pan with a spatula to form soft curds. Continue folding — don't stir constantly — until no liquid egg remains, about 2 minutes.
  3. 3Lay cheese slices on top of the eggs while still in the pan. Remove from heat and let the cheese melt from the residual heat.
  4. 4Slice croissants open. Pile eggs, cheese, and bacon onto the bottom half. Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
💡 Improv Tip

The trick to great scrambled eggs is low and slow — resist the urge to crank the heat. Pull and fold, don't scramble. Using the same pan as the bacon means every bite has that smoky bacon flavor baked right in.
