breakfast croissant sandwich Ingredients

• 2 large croissants (fresh or day-old)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 4 strips turkey bacon (halal-certified)
• 2 tablespoons milk
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
• 1 medium tomato, sliced (optional)
• Fresh spinach leaves (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the croissants: Slice each croissant in half horizontally and set aside. If you prefer a warm, toasted croissant, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes until slightly crispy.
2. Cook the turkey bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon strips for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
3. Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble with a spatula for 2-3 minutes until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat while still slightly creamy they’ll continue cooking from residual heat.
4. Assemble the sandwich: Place the bottom half of each croissant on a plate. Layer with scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, cheese slices, and any optional toppings like tomato or spinach. If you want melted cheese, place the assembled bottom half under a broiler for 30 seconds.
5. Top and serve: Place the top half of the croissant over the fillings. Press gently and serve immediately while warm.
