Recipe FAQs

Can I freeze the sandwiches for later use?

Yes, you can freeze the sandwiches for later use. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil to preserve flavor and texture.

What can I do with store-bought croissants?

We love using croissants for sandwichesbreakfast casseroles, and even French toast!

How long do I need to microwave frozen sandwiches?

Microwave the frozen sandwiches for 1½ to 2 minutes, flipping halfway through or until heated through.

Should you refrigerate croissants?

Refrigerating croissants is unnecessary if you plan to consume them within a day or two of purchase. Croissants are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made or purchased, as they tend to lose their crispness and flakiness when refrigerated.

Storage

To freeze: wrap cooled sandwiches tightly in a double layer of foil and plastic wrap and put them into a zip-top freezer bag. Sandwiches can be stored frozen, well wrapped for up to 3 months.

To reheat frozen sandwiches: Remove plastic wrap and foil, wrap sandwiches in a paper towel, and microwave for 1½ to 2 minutes, flipping halfway through or until heated through. You can also reheat a batch of foil-wrapped sandwiches in a 375℉ oven for 15 minutes or until heated through. If reheating multiple sandwiches in the microwave, you will need to increase the time and move them around a bit to get even heating.

Helpful Tips

  • Choose fresh, high-quality croissants for the best taste.
  • Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be soft and moist.
  • I used large circle full-size croissants for each sandwich. If using smaller croissants, you would need to reduce the time you reheat them. 
  • You can substitute bacon with sliced ham or cooked sausage patties. 
  • Any melty cheese would work here. Other great options are gouda, pepper jack, sharp cheddar, American cheese, or provolone.
  • You can substitute English muffins for the croissants or fried eggs for the scrambled eggs. 
  • Customize the sandwich with your favorite toppings or veggies.
  • If freezing, wrap the sandwiches tightly to avoid freezer burn.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large croissants split in half
  • 8 slices bacon cooked
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced cheddar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or half & half
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. In a medium bowl thoroughly whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper and milk. In a medium nonstick pan over medium low heat, melt the butter and add the egg mixture. Cook the egg mixture, occasionally turning and scrambling it until the eggs are still soft, but set. Remove from the pan to a plate.
  • While eggs are cooking, place croissants on a large sheet pan. Put a few slices of cheese on each half of the croissants. Place in oven to soften the cheese, about 4 minutes.
  • To build the sandwiches: Top the bottom half of each croissant with ¼ of the egg mixture and 2 slices of bacon. Put on the top half and enjoy immediately or cool and wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil to freeze.
  • To reheat frozen sandwiches: Remove plastic wrap and foil, wrap sandwiches in a paper towel and microwave for 1½ to 2 minutes, flipping halfway through or until heated through.
