Equipment
- 1 Frying Pan For cooking eggs and bacon, and warming croissants.
- 1 Spatula For handling eggs and bacon.
- 1 Chef's knife For slicing avocado and halving croissants.
- 1 Cutting Board For preparing avocado and croissants.
Ingredients
Main
- 4 freshly baked croissants
- 8 eggs
- 12 strips bacon cooked
- 1 avocado sliced thin
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
- While the bacon cooks, slice the avocado into thin, even pieces and set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper for scrambled, or prepare for fried.
- In the same frying pan (or a clean one), cook the eggs to your desired doneness (scrambled, fried, or over-easy).
- Halve the croissants horizontally.
- Optionally, lightly toast or warm the croissant halves in a toaster oven or the warm frying pan for a minute.
- Lay a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each warmed croissant.
- Place the cooked egg on top of the cheese.
- Add 2-3 strips of crispy bacon and several slices of avocado over the egg.
- Crown with the top half of the croissant and serve immediately.
Notes
For the perfect croissant, gently warm them in a toaster oven or a warm pan to enhance their flaky texture before assembly. When cooking eggs, aim for a soft scramble or a perfectly fried egg with a runny yolk to complement the richness of the croissant and avocado. Season eggs generously with salt and fresh black pepper. Ensure bacon is crispy but not burnt, and drain excess fat. For an elevated flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh chives or a dash of hot sauce to the eggs. A squeeze of lime or lemon juice on the avocado can prevent browning and add a bright counterpoint. Briefly melting the cheddar on the warm eggs or croissant can create a gooey, satisfying layer.
