Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook 4 bacon strips in a skillet until crisp. Drain. (Or use sausage patties.)

  2. 2

    Slice 4 large butter croissants in half horizontally. Lightly warm under broiler — don't fully toast (already crispy).

  3. 3

    Make eggs: fry 4 eggs over easy in 1 tablespoon butter (or scramble 6 eggs). Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Build each croissant: bottom half with 1 slice American cheese (or Swiss), the cooked egg (residual heat melts cheese), 1 strip crumbled bacon (or sausage patty), more cheese if you want.

  5. 5

    Optional: drizzle with hot sauce, sliced tomato, sliced avocado.

  6. 6

    Close croissant. Press gently. Serve immediately with coffee. The combination of buttery croissant + cheese + bacon + egg is unbeatable.
