Ingredients

2 large croissants halved horizontally
4 slices thick-cut bacon or ham
4 large eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 –2 tablespoons unsalted butter for cooking
4 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

Prepare the Croissants:

Carefully slice each croissant in half horizontally. If preferred, lightly toast the cut sides in a dry skillet or under a broiler until golden. Set aside on individual serving plates.

Cook the Bacon or Ham:

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it reaches the desired crispness. Alternatively, if using ham, sear gently in the skillet until warmed through. Transfer the cooked meat to a plate lined with paper towels and cover loosely with foil to retain warmth.

Scramble the Eggs:

In the same skillet, melt 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir gently, cooking until the eggs are fully set yet still moist and tender.

Assemble the Sandwiches:

Divide the scrambled eggs evenly between the bottom halves of the toasted croissants. Top each with two slices of bacon or a portion of ham, followed by two slices of cheese.

Toast the Sandwiches:

Place the assembled sandwiches back into the skillet. Gently press them down and toast over low heat until the bottom is golden and the cheese begins to melt. Flip and toast the top, if desired, until warmed through and crisped.

Serve:

Transfer the sandwiches to plates and serve immediately while hot and melty.
