Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and utensils. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you plan to warm the croissants.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels.

Cooking the Eggs

  1. 3

    Whisk Eggs

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 4

    Cook Eggs

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, reduce the heat to low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes.

Assembling the Croissants

  1. 5

    Slice Croissants

    While the eggs are cooking, slice the croissants in half horizontally.

  2. 6

    Add Cheese and Eggs

    Once the eggs are cooked, place one slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each croissant. Top with the scrambled eggs and then add two pieces of crispy bacon on top of the eggs.

  3. 7

    Final Touches

    If desired, add sliced avocado and hot sauce on top before closing the croissants with the top half.

Finishing Up

  1. 8

    Warm the Croissants (Optional)

    If you prefer warm croissants, place the assembled croissants on a baking sheet and heat in the oven for about 5 minutes.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the bacon, egg, and cheese croissants hot with any additional toppings you prefer.
