🥐 Croissant Egg Sandwich

Yields: 2 sandwiches
Time: 15 minutes

🛒 Ingredients:

• 2 fresh croissants (preferably bakery or all-butter style)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 slices of cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère cheese
• 2–4 slices of ham, smoked turkey, or crispy bacon
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Optional: Dijon mustard, arugula, tomato slices

🍳 Directions:

1. Prepare eggs:
   Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk with salt and pepper. Scramble gently in a non-stick skillet with butter over medium-low heat until soft and fluffy.
2. Warm the croissants:
   Slice croissants in half horizontally and warm them in the oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes until slightly crisp.
3. Assemble:
   On the bottom half of each croissant, layer:
   • Optional swipe of Dijon mustard
   • Cheese slice
   • Ham/turkey/bacon
   • Pile of soft scrambled eggs
   • Optional tomato slice or arugula
4. Melt & press (optional):
   If you want it extra melty, return the assembled sandwich to the oven for 2–3 minutes or press it briefly in a sandwich press.
5. Serve warm:
   Enjoy with coffee, fruit, or a mimosa if it’s a brunch vibe.

✨ Tips:

• Try smoked salmon + herbed cream cheese instead of meat and cheese.
• For a spicy kick, add sriracha mayo or pickled jalapeños.
