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.
Ingredients
- 4 strips bacon, cut into pieces
- 2 eggs
- 2 fresh croissants
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
