→ Seasoning
08 -
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
09 -
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Slice croissants in half lengthwise using a serrated knife. For added richness, lightly butter the cut sides and toast them on a skillet or in a toaster oven for 2 minutes until just golden.
02 -
Arrange bacon in a cold skillet. Set heat to medium and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
03 -
In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk maple syrup and Dijon mustard together until well combined and slightly thickened, approximately 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
04 -
Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk vigorously until frothy. Season with salt and pepper. Melt unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add eggs, and gently fold with a spatula until just set but still glossy, about 2 minutes.
05 -
Spread maple mustard sauce generously over the bottom halves of each croissant. Top with 2 slices of bacon per sandwich, followed by scrambled eggs, then a slice of cheddar cheese. Place top halves of croissants over the fillings.
06 -
Transfer assembled sandwiches to a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through. Serve hot.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Use day-old croissants for improved structure and resistance to sogginess.
02 -
Let the maple mustard sauce cool before spreading to prevent the croissants from softening excessively.
03 -
For a vegetarian alternative, substitute bacon with sliced avocado or roasted tomatoes.
